Strange tyre wear pattern
Discussion
What bit do you think is strange?
The circular patterns look like they are from 'dry steering' - stop turning your steering wheel when the car is static.
The fact they are cracked around the circumference and down close to the markers is probably just because it's a FWD car on 8 year old tyres, the front will wear out quicker given they are driven and do the steering.

I appreciate they are well worn.
Its the vertical lines which you can see from the shadows are proud of the surface which look odd.
Perhaps its the carcass or another layer of rubber showing through ?
Agreed. I'd reckon those were the original rears, moved to the front (correctly) when the original fronts wore out and the fresh rubber was put on the rear.
Cracking's down to age and as Yellowbentines said, stop twirling the steering with the car stood still - it's not good for the steering.
I'd be putting new tyres on that; move the rears to the front if poss. but looking at how fresh they are it's probably not critical.
