A tyre can crack quite early in it's life if it's run at a very low pressure, or if it's left near flat for a while, (although this usually only causes cracking where it's distorted, ie; on the floor), assuming you've done neither of these, take it back to where you got it and point it out, if your concerns are realistic, (not to suggest you're wrong - simply that I can't see the tyre), the supplier should help you out.
