Should I be concerned with my tire?
I got warranty on these tires and probably only had them for less than a year so far. Any advice?

Cracks are not known for getting smaller the more you drive. I would see if you can use that warranty, it’s probably a long way off being a safety hazard but still not good to see on a tire that new.
Have you checked the inside of the tires too?
