Ok but actually, what are they for?

If I had to guess, they either help grip the road or help smooth aerodynamics around the tire.

I prefer the first explanation

It's very compelling, but I feel like there's more to the story than improving relations between the tire and its partner.

Make road love not road rage! Those tiny fuckers might be the only thing holding the universe together. I wouldn't recommend changing a thing. I never change the winning team.

I think you're onto something there πŸ˜‚

Agreed, don't fix what ain't broke.

Tiny potholes desire wholeness. Who's a dirty whore of a path?

πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

they might be vents, to allow air to escape the mold while it's filling, so there aren't voids among the tread detail

βœ… Correct

Oh neat, so then the rubber fills into them once all the air gets pushed out and forms these little tire cilia.

This is exactly what they are.

For proof of non-use is what I remember them to be.

That's a good explanation, and makes sense. They'd fall off pretty fast once you start driving for real.

I bet I can make a tire virgin again

You can't unfuck what's already been thoroughly fucked πŸ‘€

That's like one of Newton's laws.

Tweezers! β­•οΈπŸ‘€

That's merely a reverse thrust.

Yes, the Law of Irreversibility of Fuck Entropy.

That's the one. Said in those exact words out of Newton's own pie hole.

That which is unfucked tends to get fucked.

No, I think the polarity of the force equation is positive, so it's that which is fucked tends to get fucked the most.

Fucks tend to move from areas of higher fucks concentration to areas of lower fucks concentration. Osfucksis or something like that.

That is true if there is a cohesive medium to facilitate the action. I think Newton called it lube.

It's a Newtonian fluid for sure.

I think you confused the term with fuckscocity, the tendency for fucks to move within a medium of people and reach those who are finding out.

The official principle is referred to as YouTube Guy’s Principle of Balancing Around, where if fucking around tends to concentrate too highly in one area, either those fucking around tend to spread out into unfucked areas, or those who haven’t been fucked in a while will actually go to the area of highest fuck density, get fucked, and then return to the low density fucked areas.

You can see this occur with places like Las Vegas, where even though it remains an area of high density fucking around, the principle shows how equilibrium is still reached after accounting for the resistance in the medium of people (the fuckscocity) such that getting fucked will still make its way from areas of high concentration and into unfucked areas.

Lol

Fucktropy

I think that's from the Force Me Harder Daddy group in the particle physics Standard Model.

Idk, I only have an Associate of Retardation in Physics, never went for the Bachelor's Pad degree.

Murphy's Law mhm

You can unscrew a lightbulb

πŸ‘€

But does the receptacle ever recover emotionally from its screwing-in?

🀣🀣

My first job was retreading commercial truck tires πŸ˜‚

I'm surprised the eco warriors haven't put an entire to that.

Probably because the other explanation is correct, that they're a byproduct of the injection molding process, where rubber enters the air vents and forms these hairs.

But it's a valid side effect to watch out for them to tell if a tire is new or not. I wonder if they end up fusing to the asphalt or something, or end up getting eaten by some crazy fungi.
