Got my trade in from Kumho on my v710's great service! Ran my victoracers one day at RA and they are coming apart just like the v710's did! Is it me, or is something still wrong here? Take a look at this pic and let me know what you think.
Sorry for the big pic, didn't know it wouldn't automatically resize. (IMG:http://69.73.156.222/victoracer.jpg) |

That line is normal. It is the butt splice of where the tread is joined to itself after wrapping around the tire. The 710's were recalled for the tread comming off the carcass, not the butt splice. The Kuhmo's were originally marked left and right side to take some of the "pressure" off that butt splice. But they came to find out that it held up OK, and it therefore didn't matter what side of the car a particular tire was on.
This was a problem about 4 years ago with the Hoosier A3SO2 tires. The butt splice came apart and started taking the tread off the carcass. They sold the remaining stock for about 40% off when it appeared. George E. |
