by the time I get 35k on a set, it's about time for new tires anyway.
but still, I feel your pain. first I've ever heard of anyone having a dry rot issue, or any issue, with these tires, but 35K is average, to a little below, for tires on an HD truck in my experience. beats the heck out of Goodyears though But it sounds like you racked up the miles pretty quickly if they were dated 2015 - so it does seem odd that they'd experience dry rot.
