That's remoulds for you.

I'd check the batch number on the tyres, if they're all the same, then
get them to give you 4 new tyres. If one of the batch goes like that,
then the probability of the others going the same way is quite high.

Strangly I've just had exactly the same thing happen on my RR Classic
on a 2 year old Goodyear Wrangler tyre.

I didn't get any recompense however and had to buy new tyres - not
Goodyears this time, and I suspect, never again.
