Default Tires shedding rubber

The Goodyears on my 2023 Challenger R/T are literally shedding rubber. All 4 tires are spraying rubber onto the fenders, and with only 2K miles on it, I can rub my fingers along the wheel wells and they’re covered with rubber. Anyone else dealing with this?

Are these the factory tires? Have you made any adjustments to the ride level?

Yes, factory tires, no adjustments. I’m thinking they’re defective, just wondering if anyone else is having this problem

I'd head to the dealer ASAP! Warranty on tires is much less than the rest of the car. If it was the rear tires, I'd tell you to go to the Doctor to get the lead removed from your foot. All 4 tires though, unless you've been auto crossing with it, they shouldn't do that. Except for running a recap at over 100 mph, I've never had a fairly new tire coming apart like that. I've had tires fail, but they were older, probably had too much weight and so on.
