Odd tire wear

[jj46]

I was inspecting my vehicle the other day. It only has 30 miles on the odometer.... probably 20 or so driving around my neighborhood (30mph or under), the rest on dirt/grass. No hard acceleration at all, comfort mode. Always in turf mode so far. Look at the back tires... it's like the end of the treads are trying to peel away. You can still see the nubs.

Anyone seen anything like this? I totally understand that off-road tires are extremely soft and do not do well on pavement. That said, I never saw anything like this on my Rzr, and it doesn't even have turf mode.

That is odd, what PSI are you running? My brother toasted his stock tires because he inflated them to the PSI listed on the tire. Should only need to run 15-20 psi in the tires.

14 front/18 rear, right on the nose. Yeah I've never seen anything quite like that.

I would show them to your dealer and tell him Polaris owes you some new tires...........they should not be doing that.

My original tires only lasted 2,300 miles, they cracked aside of the logs, Polaris would not warrantly. Just plain cheap tires. You would think on a $46,000 machine they could put a quality tire on it.

Check tire pressure and send it. Factory tires are shipping tires. Don’t expect much out of them.

"Factory tires are shipping tires"
I never heard it put that way before......a sad but true statement most of the time.

I've actually been pretty happy with the Maxxis Carnivores that my Pro-XP shipped with. Actually got a second set of them (at a pretty cheap price though, a set of take-offs). That said, I understand the sentiment.

Premature wear is one thing... delaminating/disintegrating lugs at 30 miles is a bit more significant.
