Thoughts on this (tyre related)
Discussion
A screenshot with black borders is hideous.
Presumably the question is more about what could cause the tyre to fail like that?
There’s plenty of tread so wear seems unlikely, which leaves impact damage on a sharp edge, or a manufacturing fault I suppose. Could it go like that if it continued to be driven after losing pressure?

I can think of several plausible causes although I'm not sure if any of them definitely cause this precise damage.
1) Delamination following initial damage by pothole
2) Poor quality retread
3) Just poor quality tyre
4) Tyre being driven with excess weight way above its rating
5) Driven while under-inflated as others have said
Lots of possibilities. Without more information, putting up a picture is pointless.

There does appear to be odd markings and deformation foremost in the photo, maybe whacked a kerb or something leading to the failure then it's been driven far too far when failed ?
A friend had a set of brand new Goodyear F1's go like that though after a little diffing.
Presumably also some crappy Chinese tyre ?
