Should be fine.
Did you check your tire for the max rotational velocity bead number? with that torn bead, if you come anywhere near 30% of the max velocity then you could have potential damage to the rim integrity. I'm pretty sure there's an excel file posted on here somewhere with the appropriate calculator. do a search.
tires are cheap, replace it!! if your tire fails and you crash you will be wishing you spent the $50 bucks
Agreed! if the tire fails change it. Done simple decision.
Its okay I have used worse
You're fine, that bit of rubber doesn't do anything. Your bead is still intact.

Yeah gotta agree with Woody, the bead is fine, and totally intact..... its just a bit of the rubber that missing.... there is nothing wrong with that tire...... seen way worse on cars than that.
