Tyre Performance

Wear Rate

Wear rate is the speed at which a tyre's tread rubber is consumed during use, typically expressed in millimetres per thousand miles. It varies significantly depending on driving style, vehicle weight, alignment, tyre pressure, and road surface. Monitoring wear rate across a fleet helps predict replacement schedules and identify vehicles with alignment or mechanical issues.
