Default Tire Hairs

I remove these with a razor blade from every new tire I buy for the car. Anyone else do the same?

I always wondered what they were for. Always thought they had a purpose having to do with showing tire wear or something.



They're not tire hairs. They're spews from the mold. If you've ever done a cast or mold from steel, it's much the same but on a smaller scale.
