Quick Product Summary

The Polaris C11 Black MaxTrax Tire is a genuine OEM replacement tire for select Polaris Vac-Sweep 280, 360, and 380 pressure-side pool cleaners. Designed as the black version of the cleaner's MaxTrax tire, C11 is a practical replacement when an existing tire becomes worn, cracked, loose, or damaged. Polaris also offers Black Max versions of cleaners such as the Vac-Sweep 280 and 380, making color and exact cleaner configuration important when selecting replacement parts.

Why This Matters

• Worn tires can interfere with normal cleaner movement
• Damaged tires may not maintain proper contact with the pool surface

• Correct cleaner-model identification reduces wrong-part orders
• Replacing a worn tire allows the wheel assembly to remain in service when the other components are still usable

Common Signs You Need This / Use This When

• The existing tire is cracked or split
• The tire is visibly worn
• The tire no longer stays properly positioned on the wheel
• The cleaner tire is missing

Product Specifications

Polaris' current catalog identifies the product as C11 MaxTrax Tire Black. POOL360 lists C11 as a genuine Polaris black tire for Vac-Sweep 280/360/380 cleaners and identifies the material as rubber.

Compatibility / Fitment Notes

Polaris C11 is documented for select:

• Polaris Vac-Sweep 280
• Polaris Vac-Sweep 360
• Polaris Vac-Sweep 380

POOL360 specifically lists C11 for these three cleaner platforms. Polaris separately offers Black Max configurations of the Vac-Sweep 280 and Vac-Sweep 380 with black cleaner components and black tires.

Confirm your exact cleaner model, color configuration, and C11 part number before ordering. Polaris uses multiple replacement tire styles, including other black tire part numbers, so appearance or color alone should not be used to determine compatibility. Polaris' current specialty-parts catalog separately lists C11, C13, and C14 tire products.

Installation / Use Notes

Turn off the booster pump and remove the pressure-side cleaner from the pool before servicing it. Remove the worn tire from the applicable cleaner wheel and install the C11 tire in the same position, making sure it is evenly seated around the wheel.

Inspect the wheel, bearings, and related drive components for visible wear while servicing the cleaner. Follow the parts and maintenance information for your exact Polaris cleaner before returning it to service. Polaris maintains separate parts and manuals for the Vac-Sweep 280, 360, and 380.

Buy with Confidence

Benchmark Pool Supply helps customers identify Polaris cleaner replacement parts by OEM part number, cleaner model, and actual repair need. Polaris pressure-side cleaners use multiple tires and wheel components, so matching C11 before ordering can help avoid purchasing the wrong replacement.

For Black Max cleaner repairs, verify your exact cleaner model and existing tire configuration before purchase.
