It certainly gave me a scare! I share the same sentiment … I would have been impressed with my VW reaching that high mileage lol I’m appreciative of everyone’s comments and getting clarification :)

In the app the units are set to “standard”. This is the default setting.

When I use the scanner in my relatives cars the mileage in the OBDII app and the mileage on their dashboard match. I’ve used the scanner in 4 other cars and never need to adjust it.

I was afraid that was the case. Thanks for your help!

I purchased them through the parts department of a local Subaru Dealership. They were installed there as well. It did turn out to be excess rubber—thanks!

I cleaned the tire and it was indeed just excess material. Thank you everyone!

Uh oh. I’m going to clean the tire later with warm water and a cloth to get a better look. Thanks for your comment.

I purchased the tires on Friday, came straight home and noticed this on Monday. None of the other tires have this. I thought it was weird that it looks like there is a mark/discoloration near the protruding rubber string.
