it is only about 2 mm deep and I can't see any white stuff nor feel it with a tooth pick.

 

Sidewall damage is absolute. R&R. And screw whoever did that.

 

Just curious, Are you one of those that takes up more than one parking space?

Just went to Napa Auto and Tirecraft, they say it is cosmetic damage that I don't have to worry about it. I just bought these not long ago, really hope what they said is true.

 

Lol, no I have my own parking lot at work and at home. I always park the furthest in the mall to avoid door dings.

 

That would be a form of vandalism. If you have a low/no deductible on comp, make a police report, then an insurance claim. If not, I'd replace. Last thing you want is a blow out.

 

If it bothers you and it's not compromised use some rubber patch adhesive like they use to repair a flat else buy new tires

 

That type of damage looks familiar. I doubt someone cut your tire.
Same type of damage happened to my tire LINK

g/l

 

Sorry to hear.

+100 to this^^^. Do NOT drive on that tire or try to repair it -- get it replaced! You don't mess around with sidewall damage -- if that tire blows out at 70 MPH you could wreck the car and seriously injure yourself or someone else.

EDIT:
Also, I have seen a sidewall split like that occur from a severe tire impact (e.g., hitting a large pothole at speed). If someone really cut your tire, I would have expected them to put a proper hole in the sidewall, not just cut it a bit.
