THE LEFT SIDE ONLY OF THE REAR TIRE WORE THROUGH TO THE BELTS AFTER 7500 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP RIDE 1 IN SPRINGFIELD OHIO TOLD ME IT WAS FROM OVER INFLATION AT 38PSI. AT 15000, WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE, RIDE 1 STATED IT WAS UNDER INFLATION AT 35PSI. AGAIN, AT 20200 MILES MY REAR TIRE IS WORN THROUGH LEFT SIDE ONLY AND SUZUKI AND RIDE 1 REFUSE TO MAKE ACTUAL REPAIRS. I HAVE THE REPAIR TICKETS FROM BOTH PREVIOUS TIMES. THIS CANNOT BE A "WEAR ISSUE" AS STATED BY BOTH RIDE 1 AND SUZUKI. I OWNED A 2006 MODEL OF THE EXACT SAME MODEL AND NEVER HAD IRREGULAR WEAR ISSUES.
