Is this tire damage dangerous?

I noticed a chunk out of my front tire near the rim. It doesn't go down to the cord. Is this ok to drive on or do I need a new tire?

ELC, I would not worry about that. LIke you said, it is not down to the cords and that part of the tire actually has a lot of rubber there to do what it just did. Keep an eye on things. If you see the tire start to bulge in that spot, then I would go looking for a new tire. Otherwise, enjoy the drive.
