An interactive visualizer models how much rubber tires shed during cruising, hard braking, and burnouts.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The page models tire wear through a simulated contact patch and lets visitors switch among cruising, hard braking, and burnout while the counters update. Its visible example reports 39 nanometres of tread loss per revolution, 0.836 milligrams per second, and 3.3 grams per 100 kilometres. The site also estimates particle counts entering air and stormwater, but labels the model illustrative rather than a laboratory measurement and cites calibration to roughly 1.2 kilograms per 40,000 kilometres.
