Wow, for a 10 month old 1,000 mile used tire, I would consider that amount of cracking to be very bad. Cracks of this nature will develop over time and especially with all-weather usage, but nothing like that should ever be present on such a new tire.
To put this into perspective, I have 9+ year old BFGs on my garage queen and there is nothing like that anywhere on the tires.

I ran them at 34 psi. And It shouldn't be a problem. I'm from Midwest and it does get cold. Two in the front are like this, almost going all the way around. And the other 2, just have a half an inch mark, as it just started doing this.

Just an update, I got in touch with good year and they'll take care of me, they'll give me new tires, free mounting and balancing. So that's nice at least, but hopefully this issue does not come back.

Yes, I called my local good year shop, I didn't even buy it from them, and I told the guy, so he was like bring them in. As soon as he looked at it, he goes, let me email the big shots to get the approval, and next thing I know, the shop manager calls me and says he ordered new ones. he just said good year tanks behind their product, which is good to know.

I had a Charger R/T Mopar 11 that came with Goodyear F1 supercar tires. They cracked between the tread blocks. I did a bunch of research and found It is a very common issue if the vehicle is driven in temperatures below 34 degrees. I know it sounds ridiculous... but it's true. Dealers are told to not even move the cars on the lot when temps are below freezing. Tires will possibly crack. ZL1 Camaros are affected in particular. Your car with only 1k miles must have started cracking on the lot.
Glad you got them to give you new tires. They really should tell people this info when they buy a car with these tires, but you know how that goes. I was really pissed when it happened to me, since I purchased the car in December... in Massachusetts. I thought they should have warned me of potential tire failure.
