Hi guys,
I'm still relatively new to 4 wheel driving and I need some advice on my tyres.

I bought a set of Mickey Thompson STZs around 5 months ago. I've since done about 8000 km on them, including a big trip across the Great Central Road. The other day while cleaning my wheels I noticed the tyres had some tiny splits around the top of the tread. It seems to be marginally worse on the front tyres. I've attached an image at the bottom so you can see what I'm talking about.

Is this normal? And is it something to worry about? Or am I just overthinking this?

They've seen some fairly rocky tracks, but I always air down when the situation calls for it. Am I doing something wrong, possibly letting too much air out? Or maybe not enough? I've never had all terrain tyres before and I'm not sure how they're supposed to wear and what's normal and what's not. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Holly
