Looks like the outer layer of the carcass is wearing threw. Inner layer will be softer and have poor wear characteristics. Also it looks like the tread wear indicator is showing there is not much left in those tires. 2k miles is at the low end of wear life in my book, but an open tread tire will wear faster (the price you pay for a tire that will dig in the soft stuff and not load up in mud) .

I've never had much luck with those tires. They're soft and I always got flats.
