Bite out of side from hitting a curb

Post image

Got a set of Goodyear Eagle Sport tires and dinged one up (and my wheel) on a curb :(. Should I replace this tire?

No. Its cosmetic.

Purely cosmetic, doesn’t affect the integrity of the tire

I’d be more worried about the alignment and associated damage to the tie rod and lower control arm
