That will do absolutely nothing?
I'd drive it but probably wouldn't let my wife, that's border line sketchy.

It's like a harsh scrape that's annoying you, pull the scabs off and move on.

Thinking it happened yesterday when she took the baby to the dr. I checked the air psi, was where I left it a few weeks ago. Hopefully we can get by a little while longer, wasn't planning on buying tires right now. On a side note, the 16"×8" Ion alloy wheels on my second gen will not clear the brakes on the 2011 correct? They have excellent tires on them, no wear since I cant drive a bad frame!

It's the white spots that are exposed that raise concern, I don't know what they are in relation to the construction of the tire? To me the depth looks superficial, but do the white spots actually mean its nearly through?

Can’t plug a side wall. I’ll ask my buddy that’s a tire salesmen what the white spots are.

I wouldn't take much tire advice from someone who says to plug a hole in a sidewall.

The white spots are just an underlay for the white lettering, which goes the full circumference of the tire, even where there's no letters.
It's a very thin layer, compared to the rest of the sidewall.

Ok, I wondered if they were all made as "white walls", with just a thin layer of black to cover all but the letters?

Just turn the tire (well all 4 since they are white letter out) around on the wheel, problem solved, you'll forget all about it! Seriously though it's not near bad enough,imho, to cause an issue.

I would run it, but I would also be on the watch for a deal on a set of tires. You see vehicles all the time around here that have wide white walls, not from buying them that way...
As for your question about running your 16" rims on the 2011, you can make them fit by grinding the back of the calipers, but I would not suggest that on a vehicle that sees traffic every day.

Run it, just keep an eye on those spots for anything out of the ordinary.

FIFY.
You had an 'L' in there, for some reason.

Hole colorist snobs!
No wonder the black holes feel oppressed and destroy everything.
