"...abusing Ethanol." XD
Sidewall is compromised there's no doubt about it. In town driving for a little while, maybe, but no long trips with the tire. *thumbs down* But it is a low-pro tire so there is a little more rubber (not much) than something taller.

Ive had some gouges on my tires before and most of the time i was told that they look worse than they really are, apparently the sidewall is supposed to be able to take somewhat of a beating before you compromise the integrity of the tire.

Ugh... it might be "ok" as in not leaking air, but what about damage to the strength of the tire? Seeing stuff like that just makes me a little queasy somehow...
