Just a bit nervous about it as obviously it's quite important that the tyre works properly!

by the looks of the pics, it's not on anything structural, so merely a question of whether it'll hold air, but ask your tyre fitter if in doubt, a good one won't fit anything they consider dangerous anyway, and they see far more than you or me.
