Do I need a new tire or can repair

[Snofire]

Today while washing my truck I noticed this on the front drivers side tire. Have about 6000 miles on all the tires. Wondering if I should just replace it or is it something I can just fix. Thoughts?

If you have a road hazard warranty you might see if that would cover replacing the tire.
But it does like like it's just cosmetic damage, could use a bit of silicone sealant as a glue.

That doesn't look structural, just the outside vestiges of the rubber for naming. Just superglue that on or rip it off completely. Those things get ripped up on a lot of tires I see rock crawling in my area where the whole side of the tire is rubbing on rocks.

That would just be decorative on a jeep. Heck it's not even through the first ply of the sidewall. If it's not bulging or hissing, roll on. Color it with a sharpie if it really bothers you.

Really, the rubber is not the strength, the layers of material ply in there are. The tire shop I am sure would recommend replacement. Probably as a pair at minimum.

That looks cosmetic only. If you haven't gone below the white layer back into the black, glue it back together or paint it or something.

little dab of black flex-seal and you are good to go.

Little Gorilla Glue and your good to go.

Thanks guys. I glued it back and not worried anymore.

As long as there isn't an obvious bulge then it is most likely just cosmetic. Keep an eye on it to make sure a bulge doesn't develop.
Looks more like a bad boy scar.

That won't be an issue. As other's have said, that is cosmetic damage. There won't be an issue with a bulge from that.
