Changed it immediately if you value your life and please don't endanger other road users.

 

NO HOPE for crack case.

Best is bring your ride to a tyre shop for their opinion

 

Tyres are the only contact between your ride to the ground, mai play play

Tire shop might try to hard sell their tires to TS. Later TS end up brain washed and change all 4 tires.

If you search online you will find that inside the tire wall there are steel braiding and thin strips steel belt wrapped around internally. If just a hair line crack it's just a "superficial wound". Unless the rock is sharp and pierce thru the steel belt, dan you worry.

 

Keep an eye on the crack. If really becomes jialat dan change.

Not sure how deep the crack is but i heard a loud "pop" sound and it deflate very fast like in 10 min, when i change the tyre to the spare one, the puncture tyre resume it original shape..n i saw a crackline on the side wall

no one will stop you if you want to change just 1 tyre. changing 2 is the best practice

You want cheap, then buy those OEM tyres taken out from new car. Many tyre shops who does trade-in should have stock.
