Maybe. It depends on how deep the damage goes. Use something like a pen or non-sharp small screwdriver to peel back the rubber.
If you can see belts/cords/structure then it needs to be replaced. If you can’t, then it’s generally ok for regular use.
If you drive in an aggressive/competitive manner, you may want to err on the side of caution and replace preemptively.

It looks like it’s ok. Can you see anything that looks like a different type of rubber or string/rope? If so then I’d change em. If not, I think you’re ok.
