Dunno..   but I do know of my hoosiers and the only way to get them to tear 
apart was to launch veriously on fairly sticky pavement, then and only then 
would the left rear split.. but if I am spinning my tires that much I am doing 
somthing else wrong...

and as you moved them around it would happen to them all (a bit)

I don't know if this is only my size but so far it has allways happened on the 
same tire LR
