Tire blew out in the sidewall. Tire is a continental contitrac SUV 235/70r16 (note that you do not have this tire size listed for this tire model but this is the correct size).

Defect is approximately 6 inches long.
All four tire sidewalls were thin and punctured easily. The tire will be replaced. Please provide further details.
