Default Does HD make a recommendation?

Does HD make any recommendations about tire brands? Do they put the same brand on all their bikes or do they use a variety of brands? Inquiring minds want to know!

I don't think you will find HD will express an official view about tyres. They have been fitting Dunlops for a great many years, but have recently started using Michelins on some models. My Superlow was one of the first models to have them and, like factory Dunlops, they come with HD emblems moulded into them.

Inquiring minds are likely to draw a blank!
