Those little rubber hairs on a brand-new tire aren’t for extra grip; they’re by-products of the moulding process and have no intended role in driving

Wait 5 sec.

When you purchase a new tyre, you may notice fine rubber strands known as vent spews. These are merely remnants from the tyre production process, where raw rubber is injected into the mould, allowing trapped air to escape. Despite their appearance, these spews have no impact on the tyre's performance or safety and will gradually disappear as you drive.
