I am running Rivals too on my BRZ and this photo you posted brings back horrific memories. Ill be checking my tires today and if I see a line I am changing to Advans AD08R in a heartbeat.

This is not the same thing. Plenty of people have raced these until they were almost to the cords after the cracks showed up initially.
I can't seem to find the post anymore but Pete Calhoun who is the motorsports director at BFG (and a long-time autocrosser/road-racer) worked with the BFG engineers and Tirerack and found it was a non-issue. This will not lead to delaminating...
