Michelin Road 5s

Hi folks, has anyone seen this sort of mark on their tyres before? Nothing snagging on the wheel - Have it on the opposite side on my front tyre (similar location) but when I check my alignment all seems fine on the chain and rear (albeit my Triumph Tiger Sport 660 doesn't have any helpful markers on the swing arm).

They're Michelin Road 5s with at least 4.5k mi on them (bought the bike at 2k mi a year ago and these would have come fitted from the factory too - total bike mileage Is 6.5k). At a bit of a loss - is this a jointing issue between the harder middle compound for road 5s? Have I cocked the alignment?

Michelin Road 5s

Hi folks. I'm just back from a long weekend on my bike (2022 Triumph TS660). I covered about 1,000 mi in 4 days. The bike has 6.5k miles and came with Michelin Road 5s when I bought it, 4.5k miles ago.

Over the weekend, there has been this odd ridge appear in the tyres. Has anyone seen this and know what the cause may be? I've checked alignment and all seems fine on the chain and swing arm (albeit there's no markers to help this)

Photo order is front then rear tyre. Tried to help by giving direction of rotation and side of bike.

TIA.
