I had some Goodyears do this a few years ago. They replaced them, but told me that their engineers would swear that they would be fine. But the GY dealer agreed with me that the engineers butts weren't on the line like mine was with those tires.
Race tire tread is put together with multiple pieces. You can see the seams on the surface of a new tire. If they don't vulcanize all together, this is what can happen. This is why the GY tires are supposed to be mounted a certain way for their first run, to complete the bonding process. I'm not a tire engineer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last week....
