Do you have any pictures of the tire? If so, the guys at Fab need to be aware. It could be that the bolt picked up some flinging rubber. Mine was covered with mud after my last ride... It could still be that you got the tire into something nasty.

Just a tap from a bolt won't leave a groove in the tire... Just not enough contact time. I'm not trying to argue, just figure out what happened...
A motorcycle tire spinning faster is of a different radius than a tire spinning more slowly. Not much, but if it is a very tight fit this is something that should be taken into account.
