I've never seen this issue except on the NT01s. I see Miata's heat cycle out hoosiers and other cars run Pilot sports down the the cords so I'm not inclined to believe that this is a rotation issue. We are using info that seems to not be tested with these specific tires.
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.

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. |

Nitto is simply not getting an adequate weld at the splice. This is common in extrusion and plastics depending on melt flow and rheology. With the crosslinking already complete, the process is more challenging, but this is a Nitto problem, not a mounting/direction/etc problem. How many years have folks been running R6's with no problems. Nitto has a QC problem, and the Japanese are always the last to admit a QC problem. I have worked in polymers for a lot of years, and this has nothing to do with mounting your tires. This is 100% QC.

I've never worked with polymers but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night...I agree that this is a Nitto problem.

Saturday was a wash until the last session, and even then there was standing water in the apex of big bend. Sunday was great though! |

Bummer about Saturday! I was signed up for this event, but had to back out to go to a wedding. I remember you said you missed the last MSRC due to being ill?
