Schwalbe Tubulars - aging quickly

You folks ever seen something like this?

Schwalbe Uno 700x28, Just over 1 year stored indoors and not in direct sunlight. Only 800-1000 miles on them.

I've abused tires before and never seen them do this so quickly.

FWIW, Schwalbe offered to replace both my tires.

Customer service turnaround time: 5 hours.

Looks like a bad production run. That is not normal.

Seen that to happen but not like after a year, maybe a bad batch?
