delamination of front tires

2011 Nismo#91 · 09-20-2022, 07:22 AM

6K miles + 10hrs track time on a DOT tire. Not too unexpected. Though it looks like a lot of wear while there is still some tread left on the rest of the tire. I'd also double check the alignment just to be sure and maybe put in a little toe.

yes, there is a bit more toe now, and also sounds similar to what I found out from Falken Tires

......and a wider tire to go with those rims, or narrower rims for that size of tire. 275 tire is good with a 9.5" rim.

It’s a common theme that they won’t warranty unfortunately. Wrl racers have been complaining about this and falken won’t accept fault. $1000 worth of water weight with those tires. I recommend nexen sport R’s
