Michelin Scorcher 32 Motorcycle Front Tire 130/90B16 73H - This is a single Michelin Scorcher 32 motorcycle front tire. The tire features a blackwall sidewall and a tread pattern with deep, angular grooves designed for wet and dry grip. Prominent markings molded onto the sidewall include Michelin and Scorcher 32. An original adhesive manufacturer's label is present on the tread surface. This label contains several key pieces of information, including the tire size 130/90B16 and the specific model designation Tire 130/90B16F Scorcher 32. Additional specifications on the label indicate it is a reinforced tire (REINF) suitable for both tubeless (TL) and tube-type (TT) rim applications. The load and speed rating is specified as 73H, which corresponds to a maximum load capacity of 365 kilograms (805 pounds) and a maximum speed of 210 kilometers per hour (130 miles per hour). The label also bears the part numbers WPS 87-9436 and CAI 052653, along with the date 4/12/2017. The website address www.michelin.com is visible at the bottom of the label. The tire is designed as original equipment for specific Harley-Davidson motorcycles, such as the Dyna Fat Bob. The tire is in new old stock condition and appears to have never been mounted. The tread surface and sidewall exhibit a significant accumulation of surface dust and several dried mud or dirt splashes (photos 1 and 2), which likely occurred during long-term storage in a garage or workshop. The original paper manufacturer's label is present but shows signs of age, including wrinkling, partial tearing, and some fading (photo 4). The label is dated April 2017, and the rubber compound's age should be taken into consideration regarding its remaining service life.
