Rubber hairs, or vent spews, are tiny projections found on new tires, indicating proper manufacturing. They form as excess rubber and air escape through vents in the mold during the vulcanization process, which prevents air bubbles that could weaken the tire. While they don’t impact performance, they signal that the tire is fresh and was manufactured to standard. Over time, these hairs wear off with use. Learn why rubber hairs are essential and what they signify for tire quality and longevity.
