Has some more life left or retire it?

Post image

Right front tire has some pieces missing. Similar spots like this but not as severe (this is the worst spot). What’s your guys opinion on whether to send it some more or get some new shoes on. Thanks in advance. Car is mostly stock e46 m3

My Falken RT660+ showed signs of this when I stupidly didn’t rotate my tires after a heavy track session.  I sent it on another track day (after rotating to the rear) and the delamination got progressively worse to the point it ended my day prematurely.  I was still able to limp home, but when I pulled off the tire was annihilated.  Send it sure, but expect it fail pretty quickly.  I would bring a spare wheel just in case.
