Sidewall damage on 20" front tyre - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So it's slippy and snowy up here in Vancouver BC and I managed to doof the front passenger wheel and tyre into the curb the other day while attempting to park. I managed to give the wheel some bad rash (not hugely important to me) and sliced the tyre sidewall a bit (much more important to me). See attached pics below...

I fully intend to replace the tyre. My question is: can I get 200km out of the tyres (non-bumpy roads) in the interim? It'd be a mix of city and highway driving.

All advice appreciated.
