    Default Weird tire wear

    Good evening to all of you who are more in the know on the Spyder. My reat tire is is worn to the wear bar on the wear bar on the left outer tread, all the rest are good.this is on an 09 GS SE5 the tire is the Arachnid running 30 psi. Any one seem this before the rear was installed at a dealer approx 6500 miles ago the fronts were done at the same time they are wearing even and still have good tread. Any thought greatly appreciated

    I ran 3 Arachnids on the rear of my 14 RT and all of them wore on the outer edges - both edges. It didn't matter what tire pressure I ran they all wore the same. In my opinion Arachnid tires are just as crappy as Kendas.

    Mine had the same issue. Don't see me going back to that tire unless there quality control improves.

    Seemed to me there was less meat on one side of the tire than the other from day one. Over time you will see what you have in the picture

    I had 8K on mine but could have went longer

    Maybe its due to road crown, I see the same thing on the 300 tire on my bike.

    thanks for your input, definitely not going with the arachid tire again either the kenda or a car tir seeing how some of the riders out there have had good things to say about them, will let you guy know how it turns out
