They are from the manufacturing process and serve no real purpose.

actually, they are rubber "injections" .. they inject more rubber into the tire, and that is the leftover string that stays on the outside. no purpose really

You can touch them all you want.
Just don't pull them off, they will void your tire warranty.

My favorite are the ones who argue with you after you answer their question! Healthy discussion is one thing, but when you ask a question, then argue with the experts when they answer...

I've always wondered what they were also. So, which is correct? Are they leftovers from rubber injections or are they *****?
