Bombi chewing up tires; Bombi solid Alpine tires

Hello All, we have 3 Bombi's (the true Bombi's) and this is our first year running the Alpine solid tires on the rears. We have checked alignment but the right side on all 3 have been chewed up on the inside. All 3 machines started it at different times but the outcome has been the same. I have checked for bad guides, alignment, track tensions, and to be sure both rear wheels are at the same distance from the front. Alpine has admitted to having a problem and has sent new tires but that still does not explain that this is only happening on the right inside of 3 different machines running different trails with different terrain. The only true commonality is they pull drags with ram steer. Previously we ran foam filled on the rear but thought these solids might be the way to go. Not thinking that way anymore.

Any ideas of what might be causing this on all 3 on the same wheel?? Or has anyone else had similar problems and found a solution?

I wonder if it's because you are driving on the right side of the trail and the drag and/or the fresh snow at the edge is putting pressure on the track somehow ?

Just a wild idea.
