I'd say normal "contact peel off" : some of the rubber, less
vulcanized than other parts in the tire making process, are
giving up tread, literally, as they are designed to do.

Not much you can do; treat it like you drove an extra couple
thou miles at high speed. I'd suspect that tires get a lot
hotter at high speed over time...but, your tires are in very
hot conditions, in situ, and thus are acting like they have
been run at the track. That continual contact, at very hot
ambient conditions, is the cause, methinks.

It's a dry heat, huh?! Lol!
48-50 here this eve, for sleeping.
