Obviously.
I think it's for grippy enough on attaching the tips to your iem nozzle. Also in some packaging like mine, it comes with tip adapters. Will be easier to attach to that adapter.What purpose do those ribs serve?

Structural integrity I think. The cores of the Final E tips are really quite firm/rigid, and they really grip tightly to the IEM nozzles.What purpose do those ribs serve?
I got the Tennmak ultra strong that I ordered, they are wonderful. Extreme comfort, it's really like not having them, and I'm really enjoying the sound. Maybe they give a little more bass emphasis but without compromising clarity.
I read that someone cuts them in order to modify the signature, if I wanted a little more treble should I cut a small piece and shorten them?

Yes, that also leads to a deeper insertion. It's way more comfortable for me if you cut the tip vs the whole tip. Since you have 6 pairs, try cutting one pair in different proportions like 1/2 and 1/3. For me, 1/3 goes perfectly for my LZ A6 and LZ A7, which opens the soundstage a bit more without making the treble harss since the foam material still absorbs some high-mids and treble peaks.I got the Tennmak ultra strong that I ordered, they are wonderful.
