My tyre has some damage, is it still ok to use? (picture in thread)

[g4i8y0t]

A while ago while driving on the highway, I hit something. At that time, I thought it was just a small rock or something, so I just continue driving. Just now when I checked my rear left tyre, there is a small piece of rubber missing from the sidewall (see pic below). So I would like to ask you guys, especially sifoo vr2turbo, is it ok to continue using this tyre, or should I replace it? Thanks...

Bro., no sifoo lah! as for the tyre, no problem, as you damaged only the rim protector rubber part. It did it's job well as it protected the rims....
Sure no damage to other parts? If yes, then no problem, can continue using...

oh, okay.. thanks! Actually, there was no impact felt, more like a flying debris I think, because there was something hitting the inner fender.

Just now I went to a tyre shop, the foreman also said the same thing, don't worry. Thanks again uncle for saving me from buying new tyres.
