As per the title, is this anything to worry about? Will the tears scrub out?

The rough looking bit on the outer edge

Can you not sand it back down so it's smooth? Would guess that your grip would be affected with the tires in that state.

Will be fine, as you lean onto that part of the tyre it will wear it own smooth again.

As above - no problems, calmer riding with smooth it out.

Apparently sand paper is bad for tyres as it gets bits of sand into the tyre which wears them more.

It doesn't really cause any problems. Also, incidentally, may not be 'cold' tear specifically. Just general harsh use.

Next time a "show your chicken strips" thread pops up, you should wave that photo about. It'll make everyone think you've got enormous genitalia. Which ofc is a good thing.
