To be clear are you saying the cracks are in the root of the tread, the part that contacts the road, or the side wall of the tyre that has the writing on it. Don't wish to be rude but you said "part of the tyre where the tread depth bump is located " and some of the discussion is about the side wall.
If it is the root of the tread I seem to recall Dunlop had problems with this many years ago.
An observation if all four tyres were replaced at the same time and not rotated under normal circumstances I would expect the front to have different tread depths to the back. Might be interesting to check the date code on each tyre and see if they are the same.
