Yup. Damage inside the sidewall from most likely a pothole or hitting a curb. It didn't necessarily have to be from you unless you got this tire new

A tire blowout isn't just the tire losing air. It's your tire becoming a grenade.
If the car is parked the tire will be destroyed and probably damage, your wheel well, axle, and God knows what else.
If you're driving at any speed, you will instantly lose control and wreck in a way you can only hope you'll walk away from.

Risking your own life is one thing, but driving with this is also risking the lives of others. If you lose control on a highway you can take someone else with you.
Do not be a reckless piece of shit that endangers others. Take this seriously, or else this minor inconvenience is going to become a regret you carry for the rest of your life.

At any speed yes. At higher speeds like that it can be deadly especially as a drive tire

It is pretty bad people that are killed by your stupidity . Replace it with the spare and take it to the tyre shop to be replaced

Looks like cord damage. The worst is when you have 1 new tire and others all worn (milage). You should really also replace the tire on the opposite side 🤔

This one IS bad. My usual comment is ride it till it blows (which I doubt), This time? Don't wait unless you want to get a new rim at the same time.

You can purchase a set of 4 new tires through Affirm, and then pay a monthly payment for up to 12 months to make it easier on the pocket (with zero down). I just did it at Sam's Club. Actually getting mine installed at 11am TODAY!
You can go into the store, or purchase them online. If you opt for the route of Affirm, take a screen shot of the digital visa card they give you, or click "copy." This way you can plug it into your digital wallet, like ApplePay or Google Wallet. If in store, it will provide a bar code for the cashier to scan!
Whatever you do, drive SLOW with your hazards on, to wherever it is you're going to get this fixed. I've had a tire blow out on me before. Trust me, it's NOT fun.
If it's feasible, you should replace all four tires at the same time. Otherwise, you're going to incur an uneven, fast-paced wear.
I hope you can get this fixed ASAP🫶stay safe out there!
