I agree that it was probably something rolled over on the road. Tires usually crack non-uniformly, more like the lower left corner of the lines in that picture. And that might be a later result after the damage.
I can't imagine how this would occur during the injection mold process, being one small place and so uniform in appearance.
Not that I would actually know anything about tire making other than the obvious!
