Tire sidewall torn - suggestions

Damage on the Pirelli P Zero front tire is like this. I've done 35,000 km with these tires. No change in air pressure yet, but the sidewall damage looks unrepairable. I don't know whether it could blow out suddenly at high speed. Do you think I can manage like this, or is replacement a must?

Thank you, they're not run-flat tires, could there be a sudden blowout because of this situation

The tire damage looks quite serious from the outside, I wouldn't take the risk. It looks like you hit the rim too - besides replacing the tire, have the rim checked as well, if there's any bending or such that could cause trouble too.

Thank you, yes I got the tires today, there doesn't seem to be much damage to the rim, but let's still get it checked, right.
