I hit a curb today. The wheel did not get scratched.

Most definitely! You run the risk of a major blow out.

If it's showing cord = Change it or you run a major risk of blowout

A little superglue should fix that.

If that puppy lets go at speed you'll be replacing a lot more than a tire.

And possibly injuring others that shared the road with you if/when the blow out happens.

Nah, you might be able to save the boxers with a good detergent and bleach.

A little dab of JB Weld should hold it.

JK.....

Better go buy a new tire. You are very lucky you didn't knock a chunk off your wheel too.........

Sorry to hear about the tire. I'm shopping for tires right now and they're not cheap to replace.
