would you replace this?

Just did 45 miles on sunday in poor conditions due to flooding washing alot of censored onto the roads. Fortuntley I had no punctures but in the space of 10 miles 3 punctures occured. Anyway on checking my tyre i have several 'slits' in them with the image attached being the biggest where you can see through the rubber to a red layer underneath.
The slit is 5mm long and about 1mm in width, the tyres are schwalbe lugano 700x25c and i have only done 450 miles on them. is it worth replacing them with something like conti gatorskin or do the tyres still have some life?
thanks

By the time it comes to bin the tyre, it will have loads and loads of cuts in it anyway.
Well, I would agree superglue is not the best, A latex based glue would be better. Innertube patch repair glue would do. As mentioned, have a look for debris first.
Use rubber solution glue.
Huh?

Use some vulcanising solution from an inner tube puncture repair kit to glue the rubber in the tyre back together. Dust some talcum powder on the inside to make sure there's no vulcanising solution that can stick to the tube when you re-inflate and then re-fit the tyre.
