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.
Same issue but I'm sure manufacturers have different compounds and different manufacturing techniques and tolerances. In this case, I'm not sure I'm willing to apply what happens to one tire to other tires without contacting each manufacturer. The odd thing is I've seen plenty of NT01s ran to the cords with no splicing issues on a bunch of different cars.
