This tyre was hit at its weakest point, namely sidewall.
The exposed rubber would deteriorate in use, permitting ingress of moisture/water to the wire cords/body ply ...... and 'explode' in use. Hence, its days are numbered. For how long ? IDK, possibly <a year.

TS,
What is the model name of that tire? From that size, I'm suspecting its fitted to a SUV or pickup. |

I think it should be fine but if you still have concern, better to get it check out at service center or the tyre shop u normally go.

I am using the same tyre on my D-Max too. 265/65 R17.
Was told Conti have weaker sidewall compared to others. BUt then, it's still a 4x4 tyre. Should be fine. |
