If it's not leaking air, it should be fine. But just to be on the safe side, replace it. That cut is like a bubble on the sidewall from hitting curbs or potholes where it may have damaged the integrity and structural support of the sidewall.

Without a doubt, yes. Ask yourself if you would want your child or wife driving on it and you should have your decision.

If you put it that way, I would definitely replace it immediately! Nothing is more important to me than the safety of my family! If I was the lone driver, I'll probably hold it off as long as possible though.

I know of no reputable tire place that would even consider fixing that. Replace it.

Consider the other families driving on the same roads. Please replace those tires.
