How safe is this?

So I decides to do the heater hose mod on my car and then hit a couple decent bumps. Well my unrolled fenders decided to cut into my sidewall of my brand new nitto nt555r 305/35/18. I just got home and looked and it's about an 1/8" deep cut in the sidewall. Idk how thick the sidewalk is or anything so is this safe to drive? I am posting this and then immediately going to replace the isolators back in the car.
Here's a pic

Wtf were the bumps you hit huge speed bump? And did you hit them doing 110mph? Im sure it would be ok but i wouldnt drive around on a tire like that, im weird about tires though, if i see anyflaw im buying a new one, is your car already lowered? What do you have eibachs?

No I had cut one coil off of the spring and did the heater hose mod. I have since add the isolators back in. And the roads here in Hawaii are reall shitty. The fenders are not rolled
