I find more myths about tires than any other part of a vehicle. Most of them are detrimental to safety.

Yeah, I tracked 'em. Two track events only, though. The first time, in October (right after I bought the tires), I didn't notice any of this type of wear. Then tracked 'em again a couple weeks ago, and this happened. I watched my pressures carefully, but my understanding is that this damage is caused by them getting too hot.
So, I guess I can't necessarily fault Pirelli, but still..... one would think that their "Ultra High Performance" tire should hold up better than that.
I'm replacing them with a set of Bridgestone Potenza S-02's. Let's see how that works out.

Pirelli introduced the 1st true high-performance, radial low profile tire around 1975. They rode that reputation way to long & I have always considerd them way to finicky & expensive for what you get.
