I used to think that's where the rubber was injected into the mold, but Modern Marvels made a big deal out of how rubber was kneaded into layers specifically to increase its beneficial characteristics. Doing all that kneading only to inject it later seems like a waste of processing.
Eugene Leafty Fungi produce 13% of all the CO2 in the atmosphere, my motorcycle produces over 100 gallons of H2O per year.
Always wondered. Figured it had to do with the production. Thanks.

I can agree with the bolded part, but not the first part.
You are right, hot pressurised rubber is forced into the tread curing mold after the tire layers have been laminated. But it's not forced through the vent holes.

Damn, that video is great. I was reading the tire chapter in The Science & Technology of Rubber. It was good, but I much prefer that video. Neither the book nor video explicitly state that those nipples are from vulcanization/curing, but that's obviously where they are from.

Vaguely interesting fact...I just bought a new set of Cooper CS4, and they make a big deal on their website about their "ventless design" that doesn't come with those little spikes.

Chipping an automatic VW is like using hardwood charcoal to heat up a Swanson TV dinner.
Those are the feelers. The modern automotational tire is cut directly from the hide of slain michelus worms, and it's not economical for the worm processing facilities to cut away all the sensory organs.

Hence, tire squeal.

For many a moon now, farm-raised Naugas have been rounded up and their pleasurably soft hides processed into sumptuous Naugahyde using only the most loving industrialized methods of naturally synthetic hide harvesting and reactive chemistry involving only the most endearing of toxic chemicals. Why the tire industry wouldn't also be employing similar methods is just downright cruel.

No spikes at all, or less? It sucks that the Cooper site doesn't say what that ventless technology means to the customer. It really doesn't mean a damn thing at all other than it being a way for the manufacturer possibly being able to produce tires at a reduced cost.
It took me a while to find out what this ventless technology meant. Basically it's that instead of vent holes, the mold is created with interfaces that have clearances that allow air to pass, but tight enough so that rubber does not. The main benefit is that the vent holes do not need to be laboriously cleaned.
Maybe an older design? It sounds like the way they use to create ventless molds would have the greatest cost savings on tires with lots of sipes like snow tires have.
