Anyone ever see this happen to their tires after going to the track?

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?

My understanding is that street tires (especially full tread) tend to chunk when overheated. - CP 2007-07-06 13:01:28 (153 views)

Yup, that's a perfect example of chunking. - Driving Excitement! 2007-07-08 15:06:34 (79 views)

I used to have to take a brand new tire and shave it to half tread to prevent chunking.. - jbchinoca 2007-07-06 18:49:33 (85 views)

No pic...My tires were pretty beat up after LRP - Mr. Mom 2007-07-06 05:20:46 (132 views)

yep, the inside edge of my front right tire is pretty chewed up - gh0st 2007-07-06 09:19:30 (82 views)

which makes perfect sense given the once-a-lap blast at Big Bend - eph94 2007-07-06 08:09:39 (79 views)
