I'd have expected there to be a good correlation between tyre wear and fuel consumption, but there just isn't… I get similar mpg to stevierst, yet twice the mileage out of the rear tyre.
Very puzzling: it's easy to see how you could destroy a tyre faster by riding more aggressively (or by carrying a heavier load), but the energy has to come from the engine…
