As the tire machine spun the tire, it folded those mold release hairs flat and they were trapped between the tire bead and rim.
I've never paid attention to those, good to know. I've installed about 12-13 Mitas tires without issue. I spoon on by hand though, not machine and appears the E-07 Dakars are more a "hairless" variety. Note you get a couple extra plies as well.
