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.

From the picture it is definitely a tread splice line. The splice when the tire is made is on an angle. Changing the direction of rotation on the tire should prevent it from getting worse. I had the same thing happen this weekend on my left rear tire. A little too agressive off the line with the tire rotating the wrong way. Remember the old Yoko A008R's with the A and B markings? That was the reason they did that, so you had the tread splices rotating the correct direction. By the way for braking you want the tread splice to be opposite of what the rears are rotating. It is rare however to open a splce under braking.
