Guys, is that normal for 1yo ~3000km GP5000 tires?
They have been stored outside, with some direct sun exposure, ridden only in dry, warm conditions.
Cracks appear on both sides of the thread pattern. The other tire with the same mileage looks much better that this one.

I’m no tire expert but I would be riding that. Big nothing burger. The divots are the same depth as the tread pattern.
They actually don’t look bad considered they were stored outside in direct sun. Dry conditions also promotes cracks. These seem to be related to the sidewall patterns so maybe a defect but the storage conditions aren’t optimal.
Mine looked similar when new. Now they are at 6k km and it didn’t get worse. Switched back to front recently and thoroughly checked the tires. I’d say don’t worry.
