I just upgraded from Thick Slicks to Continental GP5000’s. The tire was fresh out of the box two days ago, I rode yesterday on my commute. Any idea why they have what looks like a thin coat of “fur” on them? Are they SUPPOSED to be like that???

I’m not even sure how this is possible, but that tire looks inside out.
It has the wavy texture on it that the inside of a gp5000 has and no visible tread pattern. Are there any logos on the tire?
Well, this is a first time. I’m pretty sure, like @max_Powers42 says, that this tire is inside out. Do you have a couple of more pics?
Yeah there’s something super wrong here. Looks old af. Iv put countless new gp5000s on and never seen one like that
This can’t be real.
This has made my year 😂 this is incredible
I was going to comment “These must be winter tyres /s” but the real answer is far better 🤣
I’m not even mad, I’m impressed!
could this be the marginal gain no one dared to try ?
Looks like OP is drunk and installed the brand-new tube in complete darkness while drunk. 100% for effort, but as other folks mentioned, it seems to be inside out. 0% for execution.
More photos please.
Fucking impressive mate. Laugh it up, own it, send to circle jerk, send to conti hahahah thanks for making my day.
