- Normal? You've got to be kidding! No tread seperation is normal. It's a defect if you ask me! If you had the same problem with a set of street tires you'd want a replacement right! Well same here! K

- I run my tire pressures almost 10-12 lbs hign than what I do in my R-1's, so I can't believe it's from underflation. I've never seen the sidewall crack thingie, but I'd think it might be due to turn
