Is this really as bad as it looks.. :(

Is it that difficult to work out 10% of anything and how would you work out brake performance when doing emergency testing?
The brake efficiency program on the computer.....And granted finding out 10% of a number isn't hard, but you don't get a sidewall thickness measurement to compare a cut depth to.

I wonder how many of the drama queens would actually change that tyre if it was on their car; relatively few I suspect, and that's assuming they'd even notice it.
I would notice, and I would change it. (although I wouldn't have tted the curb in the first place being the driving god that I am )I fully support free will and that others wouldn't bother.

I ran over a pebble once with brand new tyres, and I changed all my tyres because I could no longer trust the tyre that hit the pebble, as it might have caused some internal damage. I had to change the others as well, just in case the 0.00001mm difference in tread between them and the new tyre might cause an imbalance that would destabilise the car under braking and kill my entire family, all my friends and everyone I've ever met.

A rip in the sidewall of the tyre, £60 endorsable ticket there. It's a danger, and could well lead to a blowout. I'd advise taking the appropriate action to get the tyre changed immediately and avoid driving on that one.
It's not the sidewall it's the curbing protector - it's doing what it's supposed to.No problem but cosmetically you'd feel better buying a new tyre
