They're drag radials, they do that. Drive around on em, it'll wear away.

It's a sticky tire, that's how they should look. Hell, I think I only got about 1000 miles and maybe 40 passes at the most out of mine.

Your picture is very blurry. But some ET DR's have that problem and some don't. From what I've seen it's a combination of burnouts and street driving that causes that.
