I removed my rear wheel for cleaning the rims, but to my surprise this what I found on the tire. I can pretty much see the white thread inside the cut. I am not sure when it happened and the tire never lost pressure. I have a bonus nail as well..
How long can I wait to go for new tires?

As long as it takes to drive to the tire shop.
They are dangerous, change them now, you could get a blow out at any time.

spray some soapy water on it to see if there is any bubble? Don't know if it's re-patchable since it's somewhat near the edge but I do recommend to have it fixed ASAP.
Why take unnecessary risk when you can prevent it.
