That's weird that they would warranty a racing tire. Has me worried that it's likely not a one off. Hope they don't have another debacle on their hands like the 888-but this isn't just a matter of a sorry tire this is a matter of a safe tire.

I knew nothing of the mounting instructions with the DOT numbers so I went out last night and looked at the six new tires I just bought. The four on the car are not all in the correct place but somehow without me knowing to tell them the guys mounted them three with numbers out and three with numbers in.

The RR has done that splicing thing since they came out. The miatas were doing it too. It only happens if you don't break them in gently and heat cycle them once before you romp on them. Pressures have a lot to do with it too.
I say the compound is the same because they act the same as far as heat cycling and they are the same softness. The RR is a little quicker cause it is completely smooth all around.
Need more info. Where does Toyo explain how we need to be gentle the first heat cycle? How long do you need to let them "rest" after the first gentle heat cycle?Originally Posted by Suck fumes

Ditto, I'll likely run the track day Friday morning, I'd have almost 24hrs of rest time before I'd use them Saturday. Curious as to what I should do...
This tire looks to be the disaster we thought it would be. A tire should be able to be used as soon as it is put on the car... not babied around until a given time that Toyo deems appropriate.
These dayum things cost too friggin much to be so worried that you properly broke it in or ran it in the wrong direction. Never saw this problem before running the RA1.
