Anyone ever seen this? This is on approximately 1 year old GY Eagle F1 GS-D3.14159's or whatever the normal one is. This is from the passenger front on +1 sized 18" rims for my b5 s4. Only like 4 days on the track and like 10k miles, if that. I only noticed this after my last track day at Lime Rock. Thoughts?

which makes perfect sense given the once-a-lap blast at Big Bend

Default My understanding is that street tires (especially full tread) tend to chunk when overheated.
All of mine look like that after a some days this spring at both LRP and NHIS.

I used to have to take a brand new tire and shave it to half tread to prevent chunking..

Yup, that's a perfect example of chunking.
