Default Curbed wheel/tire ... Need replacement?

I took a special stroll thru the walmart parking lot to take a crappy parkers picture. On my way out, I took a turn too sharply to avoid hitting oncoming cars and my right rear wheel hopped a curb. It want particularly high, but it gouged my wheel and tore my tire's "lip".

Bridgestone Potenza sport wheels and tires.

In the pics you can see it is routed above and below the lip so you could essentially put a thin pencil through the tear on both sides of the lip. No air is leaking (as far as I know.. This happened yesterday and it still looks okay. I even drove on it last night and this morning.)

What do you think? Should I stop worrying about this? Why or why not?
Sorry for any mistakes. Posting from my phone.
