Default Question about tire

This are contiDSW 1 year old
And I have these cuts, one of rear just busted after hitting the path hole?
I have M5 rims. Why this is happening? Are the sidewalls soft or is this rim folt?
I just ordered one of rear. What is the good tire to avoid this again? And is it ok to drive the car with these cuts?

Tread/sidewall rubber delamination. Hard to tell but it looks like from over deflection / underinflation.
