Agree need images and mileage info for better understanding. Rear tire will go well before the fronts. Nature of the swingarm design.

 

Needs Lazer aligned. Don't trust your dealer with yard stick and tape measure. And this is no joke.

 

I would disagree but then again my yardstick alignment must not cut the mustard with most. Hate full out incorrect information.
Dealer part I agree with

 

carol & i agree with your "Yardstick-Alignment"
my friend does our alignment the "Old-School-Way"
and it is more on the money
we had a "Laser-Alignment" and it was not on the money
** any alignment, "Old-School" or Laser is only as good as the person doing it

.
The rear suspension leans with the frame in a turn ...... so the edges of your rear tire take a lot of abuse and will wear faster than the center unless you are in the habit of spinning it up in a straight line or only run highway....

 

Mine wears fine on the edges, it's the center that has issues. Think I should lower the air pressure or BOOST pressure?

Hey where did you get that traction strip in the center of your tire?

 

So you gonna let us know what brand tire comes with that textured gripper strip?

 

Don't they all have one? They just need to have some Hahn RaceCraft power to make them shine

 

OK so you have heard of the Darlington Stripe!
We call that one the Hahn Stripe!
I like it - would make a great T shirt

 

• Generally from under-inflation.
  
• Air pressure gauge could be reading incorrectly. Try another / better quality gauge.
• Tire manufacture could be off; it happens but is not common.
  
• Possibly related to time of day when checking (checked when nice out->warm temperature) and when pressure is checked (pulled out of storage and checked after a ride->warm temperature) vs. when most driving is done (early AM/PM->cold temperature).
  
• Probably not driving habits, you'd most likely know.
  
• Not dog-tracking, that would affect one side of the tire only.

 

My first rear tire wore more on the right side than the left. Not bad alignment. I was drifting around left turns much more than right. The tire with cords showing in the center is maybe a little over inflated. Can't always go by the recommended numbers because of the load on the rear is kind of lite.

 

@Funinthesun. His cords are showing because he is over inflated. You must know him well Greg.

 

Only an educated guess. I'm a little over inflated too. Wife is a good cook.

 

Trying to boost numbers? Thread is from April. Few new posts on this forum.

 

Stupid rear tires.... On the bright side we can take advantage of the 4 tire sales, just buy two years because you know damn well you'll need them

 

I just changed my rear tire it is that little hump in the middle of the lane you ride the edges of and just the outside of tire runs on that edge at times. its just the nature of the beast it not your ss.

 

The tire is most likely under inflated. Try more air.

 

of the many rear tires I've had on this thing this is the first one that's had one side wear more than the other. The belt appears to be right where is been since day one.

this is from the service manual^^^^^ does that mean with the axle, the drive sprocket, the front wheels? And does Polaris even acknowledge the need for a front/rear wheel alignment.

 

Could have anything to do with the rear axle bearings?
