Chunking happens when a fully treaded tire overheats, and chunks of the tread separate from the tire. Blistering is when a racing slick tire with no tread overheats, and the "tread" (which is not in fact treaded) develops blisters.

Sorry but the picture in the OP post are tread blisters that have pealed. Blister are areas where the layers in the tires construction separate most often from over heating. They can happen in a treaded or un-treaded tires. Looks the same to me, and the OP post show gravel graining from cooling down while still rolling on the asphalt
