Tire Sidewall Damage

Just looking to gain a little knowledge here.

2018 BRZ. Got new wheels and tires at 8K mi. General G-Max AS-05
Now at 56K mi.
Alignment: -1.5F L&R, -1.7R L&R, 0 toe front, 1/8 toe rear.

Driving to work today and felt something off on acceleration and deceleration. Car would pull in one direction during accel. and the other during decel. I figured it was a low pressure tire and that I would fix the issue by filling up when getting to work. Problem worsened until I felt it quite a bit so I pulled over and saw the tires was near flat. Popped on the spare and went home. Attaching pics of what the tire looked like.

Just looking for thoughts on wear and damage of the tire.

- I see people often about low camber barely showing tire wear differences over long periods of time. This is my experience after 48K miles. But that is to be expected, especially because for me, that's probably about 80% highway miles.

- 50K is tire life expectancy, so I'm definitely nearly there. Didn't mean to drive on them this long, for some reason in my head I was thinking I was only nearing 40K miles on these tires. Never saw a tire tear like that before, but there's always a first. Is that likely due to age or alignment, or crap tire, or could be many things combined?
