If you're going to do this i would go easy. The last thing you need is for that tire to fail at a high rate of speed

I had a sidewall slice that didn't look to bad but ended up hitting a nasty pothole that caused the tire to flex and rip the rest of the way through. You may want to rotate your spare in now since you only have 5k on the set and keep that one as a permanent spare.
