any comments?

Thanks bro for the feedback! I'll try to answer as best as I can.
i think it's not related to which side, both my front tyres now have this condition and both of them is manufactured 5013, the other two rear tyres are newer 2014 or 2015. I do rotate them periodically. so i think it's because of the age of the tyre.

tyre size is 175/65R15, and this is where I'm bad, recommended pressure 220/210, but i always pumped 250. i have since stopped doing this very recently.

dont think there is overloading, just daily drive car. no driving stocks for works. so it's just the luggage on occasionally vacation.

last wheel alignment about a year ago. no why, just  maintenance. together with balancing. i never had any noticeable issue with my alignment. but i do do alignment and balancing periodically. used to be more frequent but getting feedback and other people practices. i prolong-ed it.

maybe i cornered fast, i not sure, i just hate to brake for cornering. unless i'm really not comfortable with the speed. i guess this is subjective on being fast, but in general i'm not a fast driver (again, quite subjective). but dont think i do repetitive one direction turning though.

so for now the tyres are still okay? i'm thinking to replace it but not so soon, maybe end of year, not sure if can tahan.

Because of the looks lol, for me tayar nipis looks nicer

can show example tyre with rim guard design ? Or just give me the model name and i will google

I respect your opinion,
