Tires are pretty much new. If I remember the carfax correctly they're probably 3k miles old. Shop said not necessary to replace both tires.
Anecdotally it seems like these tires are problematic. I've gone years without issues on a lot of cars with low profile tires. Shocking that we destroyed the sidewall without knowing which hit did it. The wheel is also not bent; the wheel balanced up almost perfect and only took one small weight... Usually the wheel will also get damaged when a tire sidewall gets destroyed in my experience (unless it is a forged wheel, which these are not).
