I just noticed this split in the front tire of my commuter bike. I'm pretty new to cycling and I just bought the bike a few weeks ago so there aren't many miles on these yet. I'm just wondering if I need to to get the tire replaced or it's safe as is.

Manufacturing defect. Take it back to the shop you bought it, they should replace that.
yes, it will blow under heavy load like sprinting or during steep climbs. do get the tyre replace.
No need to be concerned but that needs to be replaced before your next ride
Yep, the bead is separating from the sidewall.
Thanks for the replies everyone. I’ll get it replaced asap
it could be a trick of the light or other optical illusion–but is your rim dented inwards slightly at the same location as the tire defect?
