Brands Hatch had a trackday on the GP circuit today so I headed down afterwork to grab a few sessions. As you know, I replaced my rear tyre with another Pirelli Rosso Corsa last Wednesday and I've been riding normally, nothing to extravagant and have been scrubbing the tyre in over a few days. The tyre has been fine on the road with no wear and tear showing on the surface. I hadn't changed the suspension settings, I was running 31psi on the rear like I always do and I wasn't riding as hard as I have in the past and this happened
This was after the first 20min session which included a fastish few warm up laps

and this was the state of the tyre after the second session
I'm taking the bike back to the shop tomorrow to see what they think, but I'm really shocked/worried about the peeling of the layers of the tyre, especially at what appears to be the two different compounds splitting away from each other on the right side.
What do you think? Faulty tyre?
The ride home was fine and the tyre was stable underneath me, but I didn't want to push it through any corners, so I jumped onto the M25, which is something I normally never do. It was actually fairly enjoyable, mainly as I wasn't sat eyes fixed on an Audi in the outside lane
