Default tires.........

hello everyone. I was just wondering if i am in a bad situation right now. My friend drove my car yesterday and scoffed up my rims a little and on top of that my tires ripped a little bit (back left). There is like 2 small flaps hanging out from the surface of the tires from the side and its not that big. Do you think i should replace my tires as soon as possible or not?? Also can i just replace the tires with my spare or do i need to replace both of my back tires.? please help its very urgent. thank you everyone.

You should be fine. I did that to my tires a few times :P... it was OK until I hit a curb jutting out and cut all the way through.

as long as there isnt any air coming out of the tires you should be fine. just keep an eye on it for the next few days to make sure there isnt a small leak or anything like that

check for a noticeable bulge from that area, if there is a bulge then your going to have to replace that tire because it means you ripped internal structure supports withen the tire and it has a much higher risk of blowing out on the highway or at high speeds, if not then your fine
