Deffo a new tyre, ask Mike, Vredesteins are the way to go....
But this one is shot
the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it........

That one's well past legal in Oz, and well on it's way to being a gold plated invitation to hydroplaning hell!
.... and let me add, your tire is VERY close to having the Cord show ..... annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd it might actually Blow out .... ie. - catastrophic tire failure ..... Mike
Did you get your miles? Kendas go about 7,000 to maybe 10,000 miles. I got just about 10,000 miles on my OEM Kendas. Very sad but true 9,987 miles. ....
ENJOY YOUR LIFE WITH A SPYDER

I also think you might have too much air in the tire, that is why the center threads are gone and the side threads are still good. I watch my tires for wear and keep adjusting the tire pressure. IMHO.

That was a common thought ( air pressure ) way back a decade or so ago ..... However, it has been de-bunked ( the theory ) because the rear Kenda has been tested from 5 psi lower to 5 psi higher and the wear rate doesn't change .... Peter and I examined this theory and decided the real issue is the WEAK tire construction that allows that tire to BALLOON at speeds above about 35 mph. ... Also the tire is wide which compounds the issue ...... Mike
JMHO but I think BRP is out on a limb here. Spyders seem to be the go-to ride for all categories of riders for many reasons, from the experienced to the first timers. Installing a well documented defective item on a unit and turning it out to the public seems to carry a giant liability. In what other industry would a newcomer be expected to safety check a new purchase for a defective item in say 7k miles, after laying out nearly 30k for the purchase. Those of you who are seasoned owners know of these things, but unlike the first poster here he was just lucky that he found the defect before a serious issue came into play. It's so maddening to know that BRP is so purposely penny pinching and careless as to turn out a product to the public that could produce a catastrophic failure in such a short amount of ownership time. Many thanks to the knowledgeable posters on this site who have brought light to this issue and made new owners aware of a pending problem that needs constant attention. The problem is also exacerbated by an over PSI recommendation.
When I bought my Spyder RTL from a private individual, it was 9000 kilos, and the rear tire was identical to the photo, and was overinflated by how much I unfortunately do not remember.
I'd say you're good for another 30-40k miles. Just make sure you ONLY ride on the edges of the tire. No sense wasting perfectly good sides. If you're fat enough and can lean far enough over, I think you can do it. I've got confidence in ya! You can do it!

That might be so FlyBoy, but all the OE Spec Kendas on Spyders wear that way, at least to some extent, even those that have been meticulously run at the 'correct' pressure shown on the Tire Placard - and also those that have been deliberately run at much lower pressures in an attempt to stop that sort of wear.... but failed!! .
For any OTHER make of tire, then Yes, that wear pattern would indicate over-inflation, but that's not necessarily the case on the Spyder's OE Spec Kendas & their clones!
