Is this safe to ride on? Tires less than 3 months old, was in a crash but could be delamination.

So this is my front tire, it’s a GP5k STR set up tubeless, been riding it for about 3 months now maybe 1.5k miles but should still have plenty of life. But I noticed the tread going into the sidewalk here is a little weird. Never seen this, bought it from a reputable shop. I did get dust rolled in a crit and the bike took a beating, maybe it’s from that or like hitting a ledge/crack bad and scraping it. I’ve seen scrapes on GP5ks where you can see threads a little and I know that’s fine but this is a first.

Feel like it’s safe but wanted to consult the hive mind.
