I used to run 245/45/17 kumho's on 17x6.5" rims (G-Stock talon) at around
48psi, and cannot recall seeing the 'crack' form.  I do believe Jason is on
track as it being the split between the tread cap and the sidewall.  

To reduce (or even out) outside shoulder wear, try a little more toe out in
front, this will reduce understeer a little.  Also flip the tires on the
rim once you  have about 3/32 left too.

Good luck
