RTV Tires Wearing Funny

[inseeme]

My Tires on my RTV are worn down to about half in the front and look brand new in the rear, anyone else experiencing this?? 145 hours on my 06 machine.

Do you have a cab on your RTV or anything of any significant weight? If so that may be part of the cause.

What kind of tires and what surfaces are you running on?

I know the 4x4 on my HPX kills the front tires if I have it on while I'm driving on pavement. Sometimes the front diff will be locked weird or something and you can see the rubber marks down the driveway. Most of my driving is done in 2wd however unless it just rained or something so it isn't a big deal.

I have the heavy duty worksite tires, and I am on the asphalt 60% of the time. I rotated them the other night I feel like this should help.

Thats a good idea to rotate the tires. I need to remember to do that also. I haven't looked in the manual on this, but am wondering if it says to do this and at how many hours? Anyone know offhand?

I don't believe there's any recommendation to rotate tires on the RTV900.

I have over 150 hours with a cab and plow and haven't noticed any different wear between the front and back - heavy duty worksite tires.

Edit - there is a recommendation to check/adjust toe-in every 100 hours.

Yep, and let me tell you smacking over gullies at full speed will knock them out of alignment really easily.
