I knew freezing temps were a known problem. I took my time warming them and looking at them closely after the morning sessions. Lesson learned......once they've seen temps below freezing look at them constantly. There were A LOT of R6 and Slicks in use that weekend. :shock:

Were ambient temps a factor in your problems?

My rear tires get HOT, too hot. And seem to cycle out quickly (they get hard/shiny fast). When you look at the seperation it occurs on the line between the soft sidewall and hardened tread. Total guess but I am thinking the low ambient temps caused contraction in the soft rubber and simply tore from the hard tread. I am sure there was stress in this area too.

Sounds like you might want to look at your alignment / corner balance.

The new house is BS, You want a new GARAGE.
