Don't turn it to the inside as some have told you at this point. The reason being you have damaged the sidewall of the tire to have done what the photo shows and if its on the inside you could miss a soft spot in the tire (big bump on the side that will blowout).
Just watch it, might not happen at all but at least you could see it if it does.

If the tire is on the front, which I take it is. I would at least rotate it to the back. That way if you have a blow out, you won't lose the steering of your vehicle at highway speeds.

HELL NO!!
At least on the front you have some control with the steering on the rear you have zero, zip, ziltch, nada, Nothing in the way of control. Its easy to tell that you have not dealt with many blow-outs in your life and had to control them.

Fred is right on. Blowout in the rear can/will create and oversteer condition and is more likely to go out of control. On the front you will go into an understeer condition, still bad but more controllable and predictable.

back right tire
yes, my back rt. tire is better - but, looking at it, still has that type of scuffing, though i can still see the letters - at least a little ..lol. now i'm kinda self conscious since everyone probably knows i'm a curb hitter. back right gets it when i make a tight rt. turn...i think i clear, until i feel the back of my suv lifting up and over the curb..

women and curbs...
i have to say - not sure who is a better driver b/t men and women, but i do believe us girls hit curbs way more when we park. it's just just me - i have 3 girlfriends who have tires that look the same way. not sure why women have this habit more than men??

Sexism from both sexes around here. I don't believe there is anything different enough between the sexes that gender should be a factor in automotive skills. I'd encourage men not to patronize women, and I'd encourage women not to use your gender as an excuse. Bad habit of rubbing in curbs when you park? It's not because you're a girl, it's because you have a bad habit and/or a lack experience--nothing a little practice/focus/effort won't cure.

I think there are definitely differences, in general, b/t men and women on the road - and guess what that is ok. Men tend to speed more and be more aggressive. women tend, not all but many, to struggle with spatial.
