AR-PRO 1 Pair R0526100 Exact Track Replacement | Compatible with MX8/MX6 In-Ground Pool Cleaner/Made of Premium, Heavy Duty Rubber - Improving The Parts Life Cycle by 50%

Very good product made exactly to OEM specs. Ordered it and got it within a couple of days. Installed the tracks on the machine and it worked like new. Highly recommend it and will buy it again.

I’m very pleased with the Heavy duty quality rubber tracks. Fits perfectly. Pool vacuum moves around much better now it’s finally getting clean again.

Awesome replacement tracks for the Zodiac Mx8. Easy to install....place onto small wheel FIRST, then onto other two larger wheels. Took a few seconds. My cleaner is back in action and climbing the walls again.

Nice product that works but they are made of a much stiffer rubber than the original so tough to put on, but for the price they work well.

These tracks fit my MX8 cleaner as advertised. They are a little stiff and not very “stretchy,” which may be good in the long run, but it makes for a little challenge to get them on the cleaner’s guide wheels. One needs to take some care not to break something on the cleaner when installing (most of the cleaner’s parts are plastic, after all). I suggest starting with two guide wheels and slowly and carefully rolling the track into place on the third wheel. Make sure the center rib seats into the groove on the 3 drive wheels. Once installed, these tracks really made a difference in my cleaner’s performance. The little teeth on the older tracks were, upon comparison, very worn, and the older tracks were much looser fitting, which apparently led to slippage and reduced mobility.

These seemed like a great value, at first. My MX8 Elite seemed like it was fixed and running great. Within a few months, however, the treads split (see pics). The wheels then started to spin inside the treads while I was out of town. Unable to source the real Polaris treads, I bought another set of these -bad idea. The treads were even stiffer than the first and just a very small amount too tight on the wheels. Black rubber sludge built up on the plastic wheels, gears began to grind inside the unit and trashed the teeth (as another buyer noted; had to clean up wheels with Goo Gone and alcohol). The rubber tread seems to be slightly harder and less stretchy than OEM. I wound up buying the Polaris OEM tuneup kit (not cheap) and it came with treads & gears. Now the unit is working after tuneup. The *real* OEM tuneup kit (or treads) is what you need. The real treads cost ~$30: a rip off. But the AR PRO brand treads are not the answer.

Installed on my MX8 no trouble at all. It’s climbing the walls again!

The old tires on my pool cleaner (Baracuda MX-6) were finally worn out. Tread like a bald tire on your car. Worse... they were getting so weak they kept peeling OFF the little wheels, especially the tiny drive wheels, getting all twisted up and the cleaner stopped moving. So... I bought these. I bought two pairs, not knowing how long they'd last. The original tires lasted about two years, So these are much tougher, and oughta last about 5 years each! But... they are NOT flexible, nor stretchable! They are REALLY TUFF to put them on! I learned to put them over the tiny 'drive sprocket/gear/thing' first, and then try to stretch them (?) to fit over the main drive wheels. It took some practice and learning, but I finally got them on. THEY ARE TIGHT! and the little gear cogs in them grip the drive sprocket very well. No slipping at all! Once you get them on, you'll be happy! Value for the money? YEah! Much cheaper than anything you'd buy from Leslies Pool service or the cleaner manufacturer! Buy them from Amazon! They'll be at your house in a day or two for sure!

used in the pool

Shipping a little slow but it was coming a long way. As good or better than OEM tracks and a hell of a lot cheaper

easy install if you put it on the small drive wheel first.

Great price and product my x8 is lie new again. If your cleaner won’t climb walls or constantly stops moving this might be your answer.

So far so good. Good quality.
