Your chunking looks totally normal to me.
I use ATZ P3 which are much stronger but have lots of chunking. I do a lot of desert at decent speeds.
So any desert trails involving rocks, especially volcanic as you say, are going to do that to any tires.
Btw, I somehow got a nail or screw in one of mine and have to go tomorrow to have it repaired...even the strongest of tires have their limits!
Obviously, the Michelins work well for you considering how much you drive. They must have a very hard compound. I have never had a set of offroad tires last beyond 32-34,000 though I would like to see these get close to 40k (now at 21).
