It is true that incorrect pressure, the type of compound, or tread pattern can heavily influence these two variables, but we must also consider another factor regarding tyre wear, which is the suspension system of our car. A simple comparative test can be seen between a worn original shock absorber, a well-known brand like Monroe, and a high-performance one like Bilstein. Imagine it on your vehicle, and you will see how much it can impact tyre wear, and consequently noise and fuel consumption.
