Have you locked up the back tire at all recently? Locking up the tire would do that. Coming to a stop or something, if you locked it up, it could potentially put a small slice in it such as that, just from the wear from the road.

I have the same tires on my bike and they have over 3k on them and they don't have any slices like that.
The recall was for th front tire only-not the rear and that was over a year ago so I doubt that's the problem. I would take the bike to the dealer you got the tires from and show them.

RE: Tire seperating?
Thanks guy's for your input.
The line all the way around the tire has been there from day one. I have noticed this line with previous PP's. The others are more like actuall seperations or cuts. The best way I can describe it, is that it looks like it was cut with a razor blade in multiple places around the tire.
I have not had to stop hard nor have I locked up the rear. I have not burned them off either. So this is a mystery to me.
It has progressively gotten worse with the mileage added.
I will be taking the bike back to the dealer asap to have them look at it. I am not happy with this particular dealer, so I think I will play a little hard ball with getting it replaced. For safety sake!

UPDATE!
For those who might give a crap.
I finally got a chance to take the tire into the dealer I bought them from. No questions asked, they put the bike up on the lift and installed a new one. The manager said he had never seen anything like it before.He said he did not want to see my riding another mile on it. Good service, I thought my last visit was going to bethe last. But I think I will give them another try. They had the new tire on in less than a half hour from the time I walked through the door. Pulled a bike off of a lift just to get mine taken care of.
Time to scrub in another one!
