The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Pan America® 1250 ST is built to own the road, but a motorcycle’s true performance starts where rubber meets asphalt. That’s where Michelin® Scorcher Sport tires come in. Designed for exceptional grip and precision, these tires make every ride sharper, smoother, and more connected to the pavement.

In New Port Richey, where the Gulf breeze meets miles of open road, these tires turn an already impressive machine into something truly special. From long coastal stretches to the winding back roads of Pasco County, the Michelin® Scorcher Sport tires redefine what’s possible on a touring motorcycle.

H-D® and Michelin® worked together to create a tire that matches the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Pan America® 1250 ST's aggressive stance and road-focused performance. Unlike standard adventure tires, these fully grooved, high-performance tires prioritize grip and agility.

  • Precise Handling: If you’re leaning into a curve on Highway 19 or navigating city traffic, the Michelin® Scorcher Sport tires keep the bike planted and responsive.
  • Enhanced Grip: A geometric tread pattern maximizes contact with the road, offering confidence in dry and wet conditions.
  • Durability That Lasts: Designed with a high-performance compound, these tires maintain their shape and strength over long distances.

In a place like New Port Richey, where sudden summer showers can make the roads slick, the ability to hold the line through a corner or stop with confidence makes all the difference.

How These Tires Complement the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Pan America® 1250 ST

The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Pan America® 1250 ST is built with a lower stance than its off-road sibling, making it a road-focused powerhouse. The Michelin® Scorcher Sport tires bring out the best in this design, allowing riders to take full advantage of the bike’s precision-tuned chassis.

With SHOWA® Balance Free suspension, the ride stays smooth and controlled, even when pushing through tight corners. The Brembo™ braking system delivers crisp stopping power, and the tires grip the pavement with zero hesitation.

On winding Florida roads like Scenic Highway 30A, the bike feels like an extension of the rider—effortlessly shifting from one lean to the next.

The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Pan America® 1250 ST isn’t short on power. The Revolution® Max 1250 engine delivers 149 horsepower and 91 ft-lb of torque, but raw numbers don’t mean much if the tires can’t handle it.

The Michelin® Scorcher Sport tires translate that power into forward motion without sacrificing stability. They grip the road through acceleration, hold firm through high-speed stretches, and offer confidence when it’s time to slow things down.

At a steady cruise along Highway 41, the ride feels smooth and composed. Twist the throttle on Interstate 75, and the bike surges forward with unwavering control.

New Port Richey is more than a coastal city—it’s a gateway to some of Florida’s best riding experiences. With Michelin® Scorcher Sport tires, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Pan America® 1250 ST adapts to whatever the road throws at it.

  • City Streets: Navigating through traffic on Grand Boulevard? The nimble handling of these tires makes weaving through lanes feel effortless.
  • Highway Cruising: Need to stretch the bike’s legs on a long ride? The stability and smoothness make highway miles feel like second nature.
  • Scenic Routes: Rolling through the Cotee River Loop, you’ll appreciate the grip and control these tires provide on twisting, tree-lined roads.

So, what sets these tires apart? It comes down to their performance-focused design:

  • Full-Contact Grip: The deep, interlocking grooves maintain contact with the road, delivering top-tier traction.
  • Sport-Tuned Stability: Designed for high-speed touring and aggressive cornering, they offer the best balance of agility and endurance.
  • Durability for the Long Haul: These tires hold up over thousands of miles, maintaining their grip and structural integrity longer than traditional adventure tires.
