Damn..I called performance tread and they said it was not a warranty issue!
Although I cannot say that I was not running the tire over a divet in an effort to use all of the track. But I'm sure the splice helped things. Water under the bridge...those tires are long gone.

I've moved on to the new Toyo Proxes RR. I'll let you know how they do.

Another fellow racer reached out to Discount Tire Direct to find out if they knew anything. They put him on hold to check with their tech dept, and when they came back on said they hadn't heard of anything related to the NT-01s failing.

Had the NT01's on the car for the first time today did about 5 sessions (~15min) and had them at 38 hot. No signs of Splice on cracks. Weather was 68-70. Ran them pretty hard and really liked the tire. the tire production was week 41 of 2012.

side note - i thought you can reverse these tires on the rim once they wear down?
i did, and while they seem a bit more greasy, at least im getting some life out of them. any risk with this? |

lots of people have reported running these in reverse. i havent dont it but would if thought i could get more wear out of them. as is think my camber is pretty well dialed in to not cause excessive wear in any one area and can manage them by rotation part way thru each day.

The other 2 were brand new and no splice issues there so far. I'll have to report back with the production date on these. |

I just ran mine in reverse. Oddly, I was much faster driving backwards that session.

I got one new NT01 from the tread splice issue, and the other 3 have a day on them... should be fun breaking in the new one.

I don't think you want to run new tires at the rear, unless all 4 tires are new.

But, hopefully, your day at the track has scrubbed them sufficiently.

I just took my nt01 off after just one trackday and my rear left tire has a tread splice exactly as what is discussed on this thread. It is not as bad as some of the others but i'm sure it'll get worse.. I'll be calling performance tread on Monday..
Curse you nitto! I think I'm switching to BFG R1... Last edited by w00tw00t; 03-23-2013 at 01:27 PM.. |

It would be good if we could narrow down the batches that have this issue.
