Pineapple sponge, harmless.

pour bayer over your tires for extra protection.

Some wrasses in your wheel wells should fix that right up

i believe they are "mealybug destroyer larvae"

Thanks to @max_nano for the suggestion of an insect identifier app!

Sure you do. It eats the tires, you get new tires. Problem solved.

If insurance covers the new tires, you might be onto something..

They look like a pineapple sponge. You should consider artificial sponges when cleaning your tires, more ecologically friendly. I expect that a freshwater dip, with the usual vigorous shaking will resolve the issue. You probably didn't quarantine when you brought it home either did you?

Honestly it’s probably going to infect your entire system now. Better to just give it away and start over.
Don’t mind me, I’m just here to help.
