Have a look at the pics on this site. Dan found it last year from a vendor at the bike show.
Just a guess but the tire looks like a split between hot tearing and shock spring tearing.
Hopefully this may help sort things out.

Nice website!
If you look at them closely and compare to Jimmy's tire none of them really match.
Both cold tear and shock spring tear have the tears running vertically on the tire. Jimmy's tire shows it balling up in a horizontal pattern.
