Hello hive mind...After the last  3 day ride of 800kms my rubber is showing some cracks.

I've been very happy with the Tractionator from MOTOZ, and have about 3800km of use puncture free use from it.
Tread is still substantial... probably 30% left in it.
Our routes have been 80% plus Dirt Roads and Cederberg/ Tankwa Hard Pack. We are adventure riding at max 130kmh on transit sections and medium speed on the hardpack. Pressure about 1.4 bar
What causes cracks like these?
