it actually might be covered, with only 2k miles. tires in the warranty I believe are covered for 12 thousand miles and prorated after that. if you have a good dealer they may be able to help you out. all about how they run it thru the system.
Inside tire slash, delivered this way?

*sigh* Where does this “logic” come from? Certainly not actual expert evaluation. Let me make sure I understand your (lack of) logic.
You’re concerned about the superficial damage to the outer skin of the rubber (with no damage to the actual load-carrying fiber/cords) so you would move it to the spare location. Is this correct?
Ok. That will extend your time with the tire indefinitely. You would rather be forced to use it if/when one of the “good” tires is actually flat such that when you really need a solid tire to get you out of the failed tire predicament you’re counting on it to save you? But what if it fails now and leaves you completely stranded?
I would just use it up as normal and throw it away. “Problem” solved.
I've' had one with a similar type cut on the outside sidewall, been running it for 35k..... Its just superficial on mine as well

That should be cover with the Tire Warranty

Yeah, not likely. Warranties of all types cover manufacturing and quality errors. Although it won’t hurt to ask dealer for help, but it’s an off-road truck subject to all sorts of tire damage.
Doesn’t matter the time or miles because anyone can and most certainly will lie to displace blame and cost.
