What’s the risk of continuing to drive these in short bursts?

Hello all, what’s the risk of driving these short distances? I have to pump it up every time before I drive because of air loss (about 10psi per hour) and I typically only drive about 1-2 miles each time to get to my kids soccer practices and games about 4-5 times a week. Can I realistically push my luck and make these last a few more months?

Thank you!

Edit: I only just noticed the metal things today the other side is just a little balding / worn. I thought I could push them out for a bit since it’s low speed and very short distances but I won’t risk it and will bike the kids to practice until I can get these replaced. Thank you for everyone’s very blunt input helping me see the real risk.

Edit 2: I also want to add that none of the other 3 tires have the metal bits sticking out and the wear on the other side of this tire is clearly worn but nothing like this so I never thought to inspect the inside of my tire.

Also I’m sorry so many think I’m baiting or faking, but you can clearly see it’s still attached to my car and you can even see my garage door in the background of one of the pics so I’m very sorry to say it’s sadly real. I kinda thought once I noticed the metal bits that they were done for, but part of me was really really hoping I could push it until I could afford new tires. I don’t have a spare only a tire pump kit with some tire sealant thing with it that came with the car.
