For some reason I'm finding these tiny little red bugs crawling all over my car tires. One year we had them in the house and they stayed in the window tracks, never came further into the house. What are these things?

I hope this creature is dead. Otherwise it might have spawned millions of children by now. :(

I never saw them in the car... I think they liked the tires because they got warm in the sun. Regardless, I've moved and traded that car in so no chegroes for me.
