    Check on the manufacturing date. If it is within 4 year old, then no need to worry.

    It is not unusual. Stones, gravel and other sharp objects on the road surface will off course cut into the compound of the tyre over time. At 26k kms, it wont be long before you will get new shoes for your car!

    it should be normal. RFTs are using harder compound compared to non-RFTs
