Any ideas what is causing this? Made less than 10k on these so far. Pretty visible line almost in the middle on both front tires.

Not easy to tell from the photo. Are the lines proud or grooves?
 
Very odd. What brand / model are they? I’d be tempted to email their customer service with the images.
 
I was just about to ask same.

Quality brand or Hung Chong Ping Ditchfinders?
 
Assume tracking checked/set correctly.

Could be a manufacturing defect with the inner cords. The raised area might not have same support as the rest of the tread and gets pressed in which results in a raised tread.
Just a thought.
 
Brand is continental can't recall the name but an exact winter model recommended by vw
 
Sorry it is a Dunlop Sp. Got it as an exact recommended by VW
 
Email dunlop in Germany if you can find an address. I did some work with them once and they were very good.
 
Got a response from the Dunlop.
They've explained exactly the same, that there is a special line from another compound to allow electrostatic discharge.

That´s good.
So you don´t have to get your new jack out.
