hi, i’ve realized my tire was looking a bit weird today. im a very new cyclist and im still kind of clueless about the bike anatomy. can anyone help me figure out what is the problem here? it looks like the tire is a bit open from the side but i have no idea why
the tires are new and i rode it maybe 5 or 6 times since they were changed. im a bit suspicious of the repair place that i went to was not a good choice but i don’t wanna put it on them asap, i wonder if i did something wrong or etc

Your tyre split at the bead.
Your tyre uses a rigid steel wire bead as opposed to a flexible folding bead (usually kevlar).

Could be a manufacturing defect. Could be something else. Are your rim brakes rubbing on the tyre at all?
Your tyre broke. Time to replace it….and don’t ride on it.
The rubber split from the beading. It happens….how old are the tyres?
Those tires need replacing. If you bought them recently, return them.
It’s the foretelling of you getting new tires
