Good grief! And that’s severely damaged the rim on a very high profile tyre.

You certainly don’t do punctures by half
A sharp object by the looks of it... a sharp kerb edge?
You’ll need 4 wheel alignment after that.

ok … so you've titled this "oops" and both front and back tyres on one side are f****d, so it was someone doing something "on purpose" but not thinking it through ?
if it had been just 1 i'd have said over-inflating at a petrol station airpump …. but surely not twice ?
so … driving through a "one way" security gate … the ones with the pop-up spikes that lie flat when you go the correct way.
found a pic … .

Seeing as two tyres at least are gone I would say police stinger or something like that

the rip in the front tyre is huge … stinger shouldn't do that as it's hollow nails to deflate the tyre rather than destroy it, theory being the "stung" car will be stopped in a controlled fashion rather than crash.

Good point! On looking at the pic a bit more closely it looks more like the tyres have had a blunt object.... my last guess is a big fook off pothole! Hit at high speed!
