    E-rated, it's probably fine for a while.. No guarantees.. Safest bet is to replace it.

    You’re fine... run it. I had slashes in my ko2s for years

    Just keep an eye on it if it starts to bulge at the side.

    You’d be better off getting one shaved down to the same tread height as the other (or buying a used one) otherwise the wheel opposite the new wheel will wear quickly

    Great...didn’t know about tire shaving to match the others.
    I’ll get a new one (did buy the road hazard)
    I spose I’ll inspect the others as well...just did 3 days in the rocks.
