Default Do I need a new tire?

So my wife couldn't park and this is what she did to the tire.
Does it look like I should replace the tire?

You should be ok. Doesn't look like it reached the ply of the sidewalls.

that is just the rim protector bead that extends above the actual sidewall. Sadly the rim protector met it's match that day. Hope you weren't too hard on the little lady, it's just part of the female genome to ram wheels/tires against concrete.
