Is this tire safe?

So I have a pair of 26" Continental Town and Country. tires. One of them has some thinning of the sidewall as shown in the second photo. Is this tire safe?

The thin rubber coating doesn't really contribute much to strength.

If the white threads are ok, you are fine.

Don’t ride it flat. That’s what causes that kind of marking.
