If I get a chance...I'm calling Nitto next week. But I tend to believe that the splicing and the severity has to do with the track surface and temps. I think a lot of us texas drivers are experiencing this splicing because potentially of cold temps and significant temp increase throughout the day because we do run over the winter. And the tracks here are kind of rough with the exception of COTA. All of this splicing here in TX has happened over the last couple of months under cold (sub-50) and wet conditions. My spliced tires saw some days that started in the low 40s and ended up near 80.

but toyo r888 have the same issue - I saw a thread on it on another forum, you can search for it and you'll find it. How can you rule out that this is not a splice coming apart because of incorrect mounting?
plus if you see the mounting instruction pdf.... the driver rear is coming apart for me because my lettering is on the outside but the instructions say it should be on the inside..
the temperature.. that is interesting.. that is the case up here in the pacnw too... all my four trackdays started in the high 30s and went to the 50s ambient temp.
