On a serious note seems like you were driving on some sharp rocks mate not sure if warranty would cover it but worth a try?

If you only drive on bitumen you have a problem. If not, I personally would not bother.
I highly doubt you will have any luck with warranty on tyres as it is a "consumable" like brake pads ect, NO manufacturer covers those types of items.
If it were me i would just buy some decent tyres.
I still have my stockers on my second set of rims but they only ever see the Black top, i just wouldnt trust them off road at all, even after seeing Tyson from this forum giving them hell at Yalwal and the ZigZag area of Lithgow.

Thanks for the replies.
90% blacktop and 1 longish dirt road trip into Stanage Bay, about 170k return of dirt road. However I have done the same trip with a 2011 D40 (changed from manual to auto) and no problems with the stock tyres on that one.
It seems funny that only the front are doing it, the back ones are like new.
I will upgrade to decent tyre as soon as these wear out, just wanted to get the most out of them.

There is a small oval on the sidewall with 4 numbers in it. Indicates the date of manufacture.
The first two numbers are the week, the second the year.
Old, hard rubber would do this. Or sharp gravel.
Is it all 4? EDIT: read your next post of 2
Warranty will not cover tyres, true.
Although I have had a successful claim once with John Deere.

The chips do seem to all be in the same direction making me think its a wheel alignment issue.
If it was out then it would be dragging across the gravel given all the chips are in the same direction I think this is the cause and would explain why the rear wasn't effected...

ive seen this plenty of times and its usually from the diff binding causing the tread to rip! not saying its that exact issue but similar thing cause by the turn in etc
This is def caused by an alignment issue in the front.

thats where i would start! you may have excessive toe in/out but would def be the first point before looking else where
2012 D40 ST 30,*** same problem with my stocks. I've lowed the pressurs and everything when off road. But as my tire guy pointed ot they are not even H/ts. What nissan has done is strange to say the less but put high perfomace tires on.
Warrent wise dont waste your time. I have a set of copper at3s been on almost as long as my stock. So At3 rear for about 20,000 now on the front. Have noticed the stocks doing the same as yours and the at3 arnt doing what i want. So I've bitten the bullet and about to order as set of 265/70/R17s muddies. Most of the driving I do is on the tar, ever now and then i get out on to the dirt mainly high speed dirt roads 80-100kph. My advice burn what you got and get a good set of a/ts or m/t.... if your only doing beach work and dirt road then i recoment the Cooper AT3s But if your wanting to do harder stuff look into a set of muddies or more aggrives A/ts STmaxx or atzp3s
