Hard to say...
I get your not happy, guessing something went wrong with the front tires. The Kendas up front are really working well . I got 33,000 on my first set and doing well on the second so not seeing the oops part. Need to know more to comment on the BRP not getting back not knowing the problem. Dealer should have pushed them if it found a issue with he tires...

There's obviously a whole lot more to this story...
Please start at the beginning: what were you actually feeling, that made you unhappy?
-
I've never heard of a business refusing to sell something. Maybe they just really didn't think the tires needed to be replaced yet and we're saving you some money.

Agree with other posts
Lot more information needed...before I can give an opinion.

What exactly is it that you want or expect from BRP? Tires are warrantied by the tire maker, not by the vehicle manufacturer. Were your tires worn abnormally? What symptoms did you experience to prompt you to replace the tires? I have close to 20 K on my front OEM Kendas, and they still look great. I expect to get another 15 K or so out of them.

We need more information to accurately assess the problem.
RE: Kendas on the front--my originals are still looking good at 24,000 miles. Out of about eight sets, I have only had one set go bad prematurely. That was because of poor alignment by the dealer.
We will wait for some more information.

I don't get it why the OP has not returned yet either. Maybe he (or she) found the answer on their own, and didn't feel the need to let everyone else know, but that is a personal choice. But, then again, 3 years ago after I started a thread - one like many others started - about 2013 heat issues, I was labeled a "troll" by another member of this forum. And that was just my first time posting anything on this forum. For the life of me, I did not know what that meant at the time, because I did not do social media then, SL was my first venture into the social media world. Now I know. Be careful about sticking a label on someone, because sometime someone may stick a label on you that you may not like.

The OP signed in here last evening at 11:54; yet didn't stop by to explain their problem any further...

What I don't understand is why everyone keeps posting about this guy not posting? It's gonna be a long winter if we don't find something more interesting to talk about!

#1. I think your dealer S*cks ..... #2.. You need a Rolo / Tru-Trac lazer alignment ,( to fix the FRONT tire wear issue ) any other kind is BS and not worth doing ...... good luck ....Mike

I think the reason the dealer is balking is they didn't check the alignment when they put the bike together & now know they should have.

So
how is an alignment problem that you did nothing about until the tires were worn to the point of needing replacement, BRPs fault? Your bike needs an alignment and new tires. Had you gotten it aligned 6200 miles ago, you would not be replacing tires now. Or at least when you noticed the tire wear was not even.
You can argue that BRP should include a proper laser alignment with the bike when new but they don't. BRP is not going to replace tires that you wore out. They were not defective, they were abused.
