I put a cut in a Marathon 700x35mm tire while touring in Central America. The tire had just been brought to me by someone visiting from the US and had no more than 100 miles on it. I was most frustrated, as good 700 tires where effectively impossible to come by. I booted with a worn out Pasela and rode it on the rear for a few thousand km before it finally gave up the ghost, by going lopsided enough to no longer clear the chainstays. Marathons are hard to actually wear out.
But, in a situation where tires can be easily replaced, I would replace the tire. $100 vs injury... I'd have no problem booting that tire and carrying it as a spare on longer rides though.
