You already know the answer. You just don't want to admit it to yourself.
Might it last until the tread wears out: Yes.
Might it kill you: Yes.

Your tire or your life. :icon_question:
I'd just pour in some pattex, and keep riding... lol..
Be aware, this is not very wise advise!
But as long as the tire isn't leaking, it'll probably not do much (don't take my word for it).
It'll most likely not explode, unless you go 200+MPH on it (or less).
Looks like a perfectly fine tire for city riding to me!
I'd park the bike.
Well, you know how deep it is. I can't tell from the picture. I've seen guys take an angle grinder to their tires on purpose and grind off all the treads and they still hold air. I've also been told AnY damage to the sidewall is... Well, you know.
The internet can be a source of some very bad advise! :mad:
