The Science Behind Tire Wear & How Engineers Design for Longevity

Big thanks to Continental for sponsoring this video!

The instant a tire meets the road, it triggers one of the most complex interactions that occurs in the realm of automotive engineering. Not only how a tire generates grip, but even more so how it wears, is a wildly complicated and equally fascinating subject. This video will provide clarity on the subject of tire wear.

I spent time at multiple Continental proving grounds, on various test tracks, and had discussions with quite a few engineers, to help answer the following questions:
1. What is tire wear, and how does it work?
2. What are the main contributing factors to tire wear?
3. What is the ideal vehicle for minimizing tire wear?
4. How can you design a tire to last a long time?
5. What do you know how long a tire will last?
6. Could a tire last 100,000 miles?

The tire we’ll use to help answer these questions is the TrueContact Tour54, which is Continental’s longest lasting tire sold today, with up to an 80,000 mile warranty.
