Hey folks,
I was wondering if some knowledgeable people out there could help me rank different road surfaces from best to worst in terms of how much they contribute to tire tread wear. Here are some in no particular order:
(It would be cool if we could even assign some sort of approximate numerical factor to each surface, like if new asphalt = 100% then gravel = XXX% or whatnot. I'm particularly interested in knowing how much worse (or better) gravel may be vs. asphalt.)
Thanks for any insights you might be able to provide.
I was wondering if some knowledgeable people out there could help me rank different road surfaces from best to worst in terms of how much they contribute to tire tread wear. Here are some in no particular order:
- New Asphalt
- Old Asphalt
- Concrete
- Dirt
- Gravel
- Ice
- Very Cold Ice
- Snow
- Cobblestone
