Has anyone seen this kind of problem on a street tire used for 
autocross?  The tires have 3200 total miles, about 15 3-run autocrosses (8 
at GGF,  3 at Oakland Col., 3 at Candlestick, 1 at Alameda ).  This just 
started showing up during the last two events at GGF.

The two front tires with the damage are 205/50-17 ContiSport Contact 2
  N2, OEM front tires on our Boxster.  The tread depth now is 6/32 center, 
and 5/32 in the circumferential groove closest to the outside edge.  The 
rear tires don't have the problem.

Thanks,
Dave
