Open Splice

Damage Description: Open Splice

NISSAN CODE: 7C





DEFINITION:
An open area of the tire tread where the tread rubbers overlap (Figure 10).

MAJOR INSPECTION POINT(S):

Check the edge of the splice opening; it will have a beveled appearance. The cracks do not penetrate through the tire cord, and the possibility of air leakage does not exist.
