if you mean that tiny little tear at the base of the lug by the rib . . . don't worry about it. It won't do anything

are you talking about the little 'crack' in the rubber below and to the right of the tread lug at the top left (of the photo) where it meets the short little rib going down the middle (of the photo)?
No problem with it at all.

I'm sure its because the tread is so tall that the base of the tread moves around quite a bit during acceleration/cornering.

I'd stop by the tire shop and ask them if they've seen it before.

It isnt a problem at all though, from a safety standpoint.
