WTF? Anyone else had this problem? I've had my Nittos on for a couple months, and maybe a couple thousand miles on them. I've only done maybe 5-7 hard launches on them. Only ONE launch was with them warm. I basically just got a nice haze rolling off of them before pulling to the lights. Anyway, there was a small yellow circle printed on the sidewall of my right rear tire. When they were installed I noticed this yellow circle lined up with the valve stem. After 2 or 3 launches I noticed the mark had moved counterclockwise from the valve stem. It was only an inch or so. I looked at them last night, and now the yellow mark is almost 4 inches from the valve stem. Obviously, my wheel has spun inside the tire. Anyway to fix this other than shooting screws through the wheel? I'm seriously considering picking up a new set of street tires, and coming up with the cash to get a set of dedicated rims for the Nittos. An suggestion is welcome.
