OP, rub your finger up and down the exposed part.
If you go f
k fk fk many times, replace the tyre...
If not then I reckon you will be ok. Tyres today can stand a massive amount of abuse.
In the middle of the cut there looks to be a cord, the white bit. Zoom the pic, and it looks like it. I could be wrong, it may be 1970s worm sOP, rub your finger up and down the exposed part.

If you have to ask, you have doubts. If you are loaded, replace it. If you can't afford a high speed blowout, replace it. Easy. Just look on it like insurance, necessary evil.
Another way to look on it, imagine when on a spirited hoon, getting pulled up by plod. He was going to let you off with a bking, but now he's going to give you a ticket for speeding and maybe one for defective tyre.
If we on PH saw a chav wagon with such damage, we'd be livid.....

I'd be very careful, I was pulled over for having a dirty number plate (!!?) 3 years ago or so in a courtesy car whilst the TVR was in the shop, and got a fixed penalty and 3 points for very similar damage. I disagreed and they took me to magistrates court who upped the fine considerably and upheld the points , my appeal was eventually held up in the High Court and costs awarded but the whole thing was a royal pain in the ass.
