With an average car tire weighing in at 12 kg or so, I find it surprising that they can lose something like half a kilo per year and still be useable after a half dozen years.
I suspect what’s going on is that heavy truck and bus tires are shedding the bulk of the mass.
I’m not sure if there’s a takeaway other than a preference for rail when all else is equal.
