Life/Limb vs 200$ Seems like a no brainer to me.

Think they will handle it under warranty. I think it is a defect. A cut would be straight. That is a bond issue with the compound of the tire. Seen exactly same thing before. Blend of rubber and traction compound was uneven.

However, that one area maybe that is hazy maybe tore what I am talking about. I would let an expert decided.

I’ve ran some pretty sketchy tires before but that looks like it isn’t normal.
