This is what a heat stressed tire with sand fused to it looks like. Picture was taken after a track day and a long drive on the highway. The tire chunks didn't fall off, they just stayed on the surface and collected debris and cooled off. That's why it didn't come off with driving alone, the tires needed a good scrubbing as well.

Is heat stress another way of saying the tires are overheating?

My only other tire choice for this wheel is the Cup 2, which I already tried and burned through in about the same amount of time. Wasn't worth it so I went back to the MPSS.

Really trying to avoid dropping $5k on a set of Forgeline wheels and then tires on top of it...
