Do you have them on your bike? Look at mine after 1000 miles
Look at the centre groove

I got a refund from Avon no problem and the seller told me this is not uncommon for the roadrider brand. It seem to only be with larger bikes. People i have spoken to on other forums have also had this problem and one person says he just uses them as the split is not going right through. Dont think i would like that idea.
Keep an eye on your rear tyre peeps.

I'll have a look at the weekend.

I got the same thing but with the front tyre. It was actually starting to go down and a long process for me to return so i just filled it with the tyre sealer/puncture repair. Really disappointed and not sure if i would buy them again seeing as im not the only one.

My front was fine so i am keeping that. I stuck a battleax on the rear now. Dont know if it a good mix as when i changed the rear i stuck the bike away for winter.

I think with general use you will be fine. My 1000 miles were two up with luggage. It seems to be the tyre pulling on the corners and with me having excess weight did not help. It should still not happen though. Just keep an eye on them.
