I saw a thing on tire rack about splices and toyo tires a few days ago. Interesting read and basically it says the splice is normal. You do have to rotate/flip the tires to prevent the splice from getting larger.
I drove with the splice but it got to the point where there was a chunk missing...had to toss them. i think the chunks were ripped off after running over some curbs. I've heard some people getting tires replaced from splicing/chunking. |

Also, discount tire tacks on sales tax which is more than shipping.
$1035 shipped from Performance Tread...beats discount tire |

wow, I just found this thread, had no idea of this issue. I've been running NT01s for 2.5 seasons and never had a problem with several sets. BTW, I start at 28/29 and shoot for 38 hot. Works well for a 20-25min session. |

I start with 29 cold and adj from there to around 35-37 hot. I usually have to keep bleeding off as they heats up and heat soak sets in. Tires will come up a little more in colder weather as heat soak sets in.

Performance tread does heat cycle. My hot pressures are based on tire temp data. I was running lower and my center section of the tires were running cold. For me I have the feeling they come on later in the session not fall off?

I've called NITTO, they said heat cycling is not needed. So I don't bother. The last two I finished lasted 2 wet days and 6 dry days which is about normal considering how much sliding I do. I only corded one on the right rear. If I had rotated sooner I could have gotten another day. No heat cycling...

Because of the tire splicing on 3 out of 4 tires, I will be cautious and swap out tires before this weekend!

I would like to hear what tracks this is happening at. I think the track surface and its condition plays a role in the splicing.

could be my first day was at pacific raceways which has a very rough surface although my second day was at the ridge and that is a brand new surface that is perfect.
