Has anyone had their mud terrain tires lugs start to split? I have 200mi on my mt/r kevlars and some of the outside lugs have relatively deep splits/cracks.

Id almost consider it siping however I want to know if they can continue to split and ruin the tire. Uploading pics now. I only see the splitting on the passenger front tire. Also, one lug section over the tread blocks are getting some unusual wear on the outside. The driver side front still looks brand new... And yes only 200mi.

In this first pic the split is on the left and on the right you can see the wear on the outside lug. I aligned it to 1/16" toe in and it tracks straight down the road.

I don't know, that's funky, ask other guys with Mtrs if that's part d the tread or if theirs are doing the same thing. That's not normal chunking.

I did a legitimate alignment on it at school a month back but when I added new rc fixed lca's I adjusted the toe just a hair. Like I said it drives great on the road. Im going to put it back up on the alignment rack next week and if the numbers are good and the splits get worse, Im marching into goodyear looking to trade for km2's. I had km1's on my wrangler and never experienced this.
