no offense but wrong.
The number one factor is the load, the weight. As you put more weight on a tire, it's going to wear out faster.


Ok, I offended, now can you back up your claim that my comment in red above is "wrong"? I omitted the word "level" above since climbing up or down a mountain for instance at a steady speed would elevate tire wear if load was increased, as a Florida resident forgive me, that is the exception here.
You also know a tire sitting there with or without a load will suffer the same wear, none, until it is driven, right?

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
