I was checking my tire pressure and noticed this on the driver's side front tire.
It looks like the steel belts are coming out. There is plenty of tread and it's coming from the tread area and not the lower, sidewall, area. There is no obvious damage to the rubber in the area either.
This is a Toyota in America so this tire would be on the left if sitting behind the steering wheel.

Maybe you ran over a wire brush? Doesn't look like a failed belt to me.
Grab a set of pliers and pull one of the threads out of the thickest part of the tread block. If it does start to leak (it shouldn't), it won't leak fast enough that you couldn't drive it to a tire store and get them to patch it.
