Rear wheel cracked at the bead. Parallel to the axle. Right to left. This is a result of fatigue. After being in the automotive business the most of my life this is not abbuse.
Vehicle is equipped with continental contiprocontacts 245/40r18 tires that creates a sidewall bubble/blisters. I replaced 2 front tires already with vehicle mileage less than 7,500 miles. Now both rear tires that have less than 11,000 have both established sidewall bubbles/blisters. All tires are currently continental tires.
