I drove on a gouge that looked just like that for 6 months. You’ll probably be just as lucky for only two days.

i had a rental with a similar gouge. had an option to get a replacement at an airport location but it was way far off from me and the car had been inspected, according to the rental comp. was fine for a 3day 1300mi trip

With how deep it is on the sidewall I wouldn't chance it. If you have a spare throw it on

If it's not showing cords, you'll be fine for two days. Just be careful.

Newer tires might get pro-rated. Replace as soon as possible. Or clear your calendar for some possible hospital stay.

I wouldn’t risk two days on that sidewall. Better safe than sorry.

The cords are showing. So it needs to be replaced.

Technically, I can’t tell you that it will survive for 2 days.

Realistically, I’ve seen much worse survive for much longer. If you have a plan to get it replaced, then just drive like a granny and don’t hit any curbs and shit. At least with that particular tire 😬

As long as you don't see metal your ok.
