Pics?

If your on about the nobbles, they are just from the msnufacturing process.

They wear off eventually.

It can take years though, unless you're in the habit of kerbing it!

BM's tend to have pronounced rear camber, so it will take much longer for the outside edges of the tyre to wear, including these little hairs
