i have an 06 yamaha r6 that only has 1700 miles on it with factory dunlop sportmax tires and they started to crack and separate. front was really bad so i replaced it now i noticed the rear doing this. has anyone had this problem and is this considered faulty tires.

I 2nd the last post. It's b/c the tires are old. You should put more than one set on in 2-3 years. Hell, you should at least put 1 rear on every month during summer and spring if you ride.
1700 miles in over 2 years, the shame.
