Just put a flathead into the big groove and see if you can pry the one section away from the other, create a more visible channel. If so, then not suitable for 1+ lateral g

There's a safety but also practicality side to issues like this, the latter being you show up to your next track day, they start chunking and you're done. Doesn't sound fun to me.

not deep at all not even 1mm

Then this isn't the scenario I suggested. Maybe you passed over some really sharp, irregular pavement in a construction zone, something like that. If rubbing is ruled out

Took wheel/tires to shop-they said light tire stress and credit given toward two new tires. Now question is what cause tire stress?

Please send all the take-off Cup 2's my way, shoot me a PM. I think they are a great tire in anything but cold weather or torrential rain.

It's a mystery but take that credit, generous of them.

End of day is track tires have al kinds of marks wear and tear and lots of variables cause stress tear or what ever…. I take credit all day long for 3 year DOT cups 2.
