Rea tire change. laser alienment

Hey i was just wondering. I noticed my 2010 rt-s rear tire is going bald in the center only after only 6000 original miles(tons of good rubber left on the sides and tire is at proper inflation). I have two questions. 1) is this normal and why the heck can a car tire last 60000 and this tire only 6-7000. Any suggestions as to a replacement.
2)More importantly if i get laser aligned do i have to get it done each time i change my tire.

Thanks in advance

There is no end to tire threads and posts. I have 18,000 on mine and it will be pretty thin soon. Some have gotten more some much less. You are very low and tire pressure could be the problem. Also where you ryde weather conditions solo double etc. Where you measure the depth is important. The center line going away is not unusual. There is a small diamond on the tread indicating the wear bar. These tires are spun and chirpped quite a bit run on rough roads and do not last like a car nor do we get mileage like a moped...you should not need to align the roadster after changing the tires...:thumbup:

Jack up rear. Spin tire forward about 10-15 revolutions. Watch the belt. Now spin backwards 10-15 revolutions. If the belt stays in the same spot, the rear axle is fine. Change tires. After tire change, perform the same check. If everything remains the same, the alignment should be ok. Any questions, call me. Joe
