Pressure is good on all 4 tires and this is a lot more severe than when I had a car with mis-aligned tires. Have a friend who had all 4 tires prematurely wear out 2X.
Have been told that Yamaha does have a suspension problem that they know about and will not fix and this IS NOT an alignment problem. Saw an old article/post about this problem and per that post this problem has been corrected in the 2018 model Does anyone have similar issues and if so was their a remedy.

For several years with the Yamama Quietech, they built them with significant negative camber on the front wheels. You can see this if you stand back and see the top of the front tires tilted in -- it's pretty dramatic. I sent the following picture of my 2018 Quietech front right tire with 7500 miles to Carts and Clubs, and they replied: "Unfortunately the front end wear you’re experiencing is normal on QuieTech models." The basic Quietech of those years does not have the ability to adjust camber, but Carts and Clubs said they can incorporate a kit of new parts with the ability to straighten the camber for $300. I've elected not to incorporate this kit because I'm speculating that Yamaha incorporated this negative camber for basic stability which I don't want to mess with. If you Google "Quietech Wheel Camber" you'll find more discussion on this.
