My thought too, as was mentioned by others too. The tire was really low/flat and the wheel chewed away the edge of the tire as the car was driven.
One thing I've noticed with high load-rated performance tires is how you have very few visual indicators of low pressure until it's totally flat. The stiff sidewalls hide a lot. If you aren't checking pressures regularly it can sneak up on you. I don't have a lot of faith in the TPMS giving me an appropriate warning based on history with several different cars.
