Obviously your tires weren't heat up enough before you pushed your car to the limit. That is where slice or crack comes from.

If tires were properly heated, it will just peel treads like rubber erasers.

You probably just hit a piece of debris or something. Are you losing any air pressure? If not I'd say don't sweat it. Got a picture of the damage?
