It could be idleing too fast, should be about 1100rpm. If it's not that you will have to pull the cvt cover off and look at the clutch......

You've experienced the "creeping" problem, yes it's a primary clutch problem. Sometimes simply running the belt the oppisite direction can actually cure this, if not, a weekend fix would be to add a couple of shims to the secondary to bring it out away from the trans.

I can tell you that your tires are going to really mess up your tranny. You CAN NOT put different size tires front and rear. You must stay the same diameter front and rear. For example the stock tires are rear 25x11x12 and front is 25x8x12. You can go to a 26" tire front and rear or a 27" front and rear. You must never go with a 26" front and 27" rear. This will damage your tranny. This may be part or all of your problem.

Dont think a warranty is going to cover the wrong size tires.

I bet they didn't have the size you needed for the front so just sold you the 26's because that's what they had.
