Dyna Michelin Scorcher tyre problem?
Hey guys, any of you have problems with the new Michelin Scorcher tyres on the Dyna 2010 models.
I have a 2010 Street Bob and when I am going about 30-35mph round a corner I can feel a wierd vibration coming from the front end.
Any slower or faster and I don't seem to get the problem!! I have checked all the bolts & tyre pressure, everything is good, the bike has only done 300 miles and has done it from the first day.
Is this normal?
Thanks very much in advance for any help.

As in the other thread I also have felt the vibration leaned over and heard the associated noise on my '10 FXDC. It has not bothered me at all as I was used to it. Here's why;
My previous ride had a reputation for front tire scalloping as the tire grew older and it's miles of use rose. On that bike with a high mileage front tire you'd swear you were in a diesel truck with the "Jake" brake on when you leaned into a turn. When I picked up my Dyna in May my experiences told me that the sensations from the front end of it were caused by the front tires tread pattern. No big deal.
In the end I personally like the Michelin Scorchers grip, ride, and feel. I think this noise is but a small idiosyncrasy of their use.

2010 Dyna Super Glide Custom Front End Vibration
I have the same vibration leaning into turns left or right at around 35 mph. I had the dealer look at it. I got new front wheel bearings, tightened a few spokes and I even had the True-Trak Stabalizers put on. It STILL vibrates. I never thought of th Michelin Scorchers causing it.

If you look @ the outside edge of the tire you will see the HD bar and shield. I believe this is the vibration you are feeling my bike does the exact same thing.
