I've been changing more tyres, on cars, recently because of cracks. No so much rubber being used now days. What you guys are showing wouldn't worry me, I'll take a pic of the pilot road on the front of my dominator later, you lot will mess yourselves.

I had a pair of Conti road attacks do something similar
these were the last pair of Conti's I bought, got them from Tyre tec, from the date on them I could see they were new tyres, not old stock,
from memory think I had done about 400 miles on them,
Supplied by Tyretec, they said "buy some new tyres and we will send these back for you,if they are faulty they will replace them,
but must warn you, they have never had a faulty pair"
this was about a week before I was due to go to Germany on the bike, so bought elsewhere

Not very confidence inspiring Steve. Just been looking at prices of new tyres. Cheapest I've seen so far are ..you guessed it...Avon Storm 3D's at £169 a pair.

My local front tyre shop have quoted me for a BT 023, £90 fitted and balanced to a loose wheel, so I've ordered one. Should be fitted tomorrow afternoon/Thurs am.

Do you have a different shop for the rears then?
Same shop, just use the rear door.

Quick reply, they said "We’d recommend returning the tyre to your supplier under warranty." Soooo, now going to contact M&P see how long the warranty is for, might be out by a month if it's only 2yrs.

If not, I wouldn't consider only 2 years of use to be a reasonable amount of time for a tyre to do that, especially considering the dangers involved.

I agree on both points. Just contacted M&P so will see how that spans out. Looked at their warranty declaration and there's no mention of how long the warranty lasts on a tyre, just a paragraph of if's and buts and a mention of 60 days in general.
EDIT: Just got an email from M&P
Hi Ian
Sorry to read that!
Please return the tyre to us, along with any correspondence you have with yourself and Avon (contact name if possible) and we can get this sorted.
Soooo, just need to post the tyre now and see what develops.

Yes. Contact was to Avon Tyres on their website and reply and further emails were from coopertyre.com but signed by Avon Motorcycle Technical.
