Just stuck my tread depth gauge in it....right at 2/32" deep. Looks like I'm ordering a new one. I sure would like to do those charity laps in may. Been itching to get this thing out on the road course.It depends on how deep the cut is. If it's 2/32" or more, replace it right away.
Bought them second hand from a board member, so probably not.Warranty?
Well that blows.Bought them second hand from a board member, so probably not.
I don't get that statement, a lot of good stuff is made in Japan. Nitto tires are generally great tires.Um, yes, I would. And I see your problem... "Made in Japan"
Really? C'mon man.Um, yes, I would. And I see your problem... "Made in Japan"
Not likely, considering he's not the original purchaser of the tire. Plus, virtually no manufacturer provides road hazard warranty anymore. That's something that you usually buy at the dealer.I would still send a picture to Nitto, maybe they'll consider replacing it.
You're probably right, but I always try if it's a defect. I had the same issue with a Blizzak a few yrs ago where it bubbled the sidewall. Sent it to Bridgestone. They gave me a discount card for my next purchase. I was SOL on the spot, but they helped out for the future.Not likely, considering he's not the original purchaser of the tire.

The only time Nitto (or any other tire mfr) would consider replacing the tire is if the tire is fairly new and you destroy one. Called a "policy concession" and you wouldn't get 100%, usually 50-75% credit. His tire is obviously worn quite a bit and from the pic, it looks like an impact break, which is not covered by any mfr warranty.
