Default New Achilles ATR Sport 2 Delaminating After Donuts in the Rain

Hi everyone

I'm running ATR Sport 2's on my back tires because I want to learn to drift. I've had them on for about 6000 miles. The other night after it had been raining all day I decided it's a good time to go do some "spirited driving" and afterward throw some fuel stabilizer in since I'm sorta storing the 370z for the winter. The next day I notice the right back tire is leaking air.

So I have to take it for an oil change for the winter and we get it on the lift and I notice the LEFT back tire has delaminated and about half of the tread is missing. I also didn't find any nails in the back right tire.

I bought these tires recently at walmart and they had a recent manufacture date. I also haven't done any serious burnouts in them and there is tons of tread left.

Has anyone had similar issues with Achilles tires? Do you think I could claim some sort of warranty?
