The tire still makes funny noise when you try to turn it on the floor, but I really cannot tell whether this is not just due to those fine structures that they call lamellae, rather than any particles. On Winter I, they wrote about embedded microspikes but on II such an inscription is missing. I wonder how long those lamellae will last given that they approach the level of hair sticking out of the tire.
