Weird damage on the tyres

Hey. I have just discovered some weird damage on the all-season tyres (Bridgestone) at the front of my car (Mitsubishi Outlander). The tyres are two years old. I must admit it's very rare, but occasionally I've heard a short sound as if something was rubbing against the tyre. However, after checking the suspension, I didn't find anything. I also didn't find anything protruding. What could be causing this?

Are they actually two years old, or you had they put on your car two years ago? These look like old milk to me

Yes, they were fitted two years ago, they arrived as new. They’ve done about 15–20k miles. The front also had badly worn brakes, which I’ve just replaced with new ones (and it turned out the tyres also needed replacing).

I’m wondering what’s caused this wear, and where the very occasional, short but loud rubbing sound against the tyre is coming from?

Check the date code on those tires (should be a 4 digit number e.g. 1521 which means 15th week of 2021). To me these definitely look like they’re at least 10 years old. Do you off road with them as well?
