Beginning mid-year, Michelin® motorcycle tires will be available at Harley-Davidson dealerships across North America. “Harley-Davidson is an exceptional company and we are very proud to join them as a supplier,” said Vickie Johnson, vice-president of two-wheel tires for Michelin North America. “Michelin has been manufacturing tires for motorcycles as long as motorcycles have existed.

We believe that our motorcycle products will be a valuable addition to Harley Davidson’s existing product line.” Dedicated to the improvement of sustainable mobility, Michelin designs, manufactures and sells tires for every type of vehicle, including airplanes, automobiles, bicycles, earthmovers, farm equipment, heavy-duty trucks, motorcycles and the space shuttle.
