Hi All, Just noticed a cut on driver side front tire. It doesn't look too deep and just a flap. Pic below. Do I need to worry about getting the tires replaced immediately?

If it's not more than 1-2 mm deep, you should be just fine to roll with it.

Something similar happened to me and i went in deep enough to leak air when pressure was placed on it. Had to replace mine. If yours isn't at all leaking, you're fine.

Super glue that back if it's not leaking air
Looks cosmetic to me

This literally happened to me on one of my other cars years ago - clean,dry, and superglue that bad boy - and watch out for pothole in the future!
