Sorry don't have the images used to show how my Michelin AT and ATX were when switched to Bridgestone Duelers
They looked EXACTLY like yours and the switch came after coming out to run an errand...to find that the LT265/75.16E's were flat from one of the cracks finally making it clean through the plies to leak
The newer tire compounding (am told) has lots of MPG science/engineering. Mostly material science to reduce rolling resistance, but that has reduced their O3 resistance
Recommend you change them out. Even local errands can leave you stranded
