Great. I will be looking at mine again a little closer now. 16,300 on mine and haven't noticed anything like this, but see it on one and chances are there is another...

I'll be curious if anyone else comes up with the same cracking problem. Maybe mine was just defective. Time will tell.

Now that's a good Dealer! Good for you. Like you said, if it's a problem certainly more will surface soon.

wonder if it's tread separation between the two different compounds of the "special" tread.

That is a little bit disconcerting; could easily result in a blowout. Thanks for the heads up. Also good to hear that the dealer didn't want to inconvenience you any more than necessary... now that is unusual.
