Do all new car tires have tire hairs?
1 Answers
Not all new tires have tire hairs, but during the production process, all tires inevitably develop tire hairs. However, with the advancement of technology in many tire factories today, the issue of tire hairs on new tires has been addressed. Manufacturers often include a step to remove tire hairs for aesthetic purposes, though some tire manufacturers may skip this step to save costs. Therefore, it is not guaranteed that new tires will have tire hairs. Additional information: 1. Tire hairs do not contribute to the safety or grip of the tire; they only affect its appearance and should not be manually removed. Moreover, it is important to note that purchasing retreaded tires is not recommended due to significant safety risks. 2. Retreaded tires do not have tire hairs, which can serve as a method to identify them. In other words, if a tire has tire hairs, it is definitely not a retreaded tire. This is because retreaded tires are made from old tires and cannot replicate the tire hairs. The difficulty in replicating tire hairs lies in their formation process: the tire mold contains small holes to release gases during tire formation. After the tire cools and is removed from the mold, some rubber material remains in these holes, forming the visible tire hairs on the tire surface. Tire hairs are typically about 10-20mm in length and 0.6-1.2mm in diameter.
