hey guys, my polaris 280 tires were shot so i get 3 new tires for it today, after i installed them it wouldnt go around the pool, just sat there going around in circles, i got in the water and it looks like the the 2 wheels on the right were having trouble spinning, the 1 tire on the left was doing ok, thats why it was going in a small circle, i pulled the back right tire off and it is now running fine, maybe the 2 new tires were putting it in a bind somehow, anyone here ever ran into this ? thanks guys
polaris 280 running sluggish after 3 new tires ?

If you don't get the tire fully seated on the wheel they will often bind against the housing, causing your symptoms.
Also check the idle wheel in between and make sure it is free and not jamming between the two wheels.
