I think someone eventually pointed out that a typical bus weighs around 10x that of a car while having maybe twice the tyre surface area in contact with the ground.
According to the 4th power law that translates to 625x the road (and thus also tyre) wear, meaning even a fully loaded bus should produce significantly more particulates than the equivalent in cars with just one occupant each.
- adgjlsfhk1 2y agoyeah this is very wrong. air pressure, acceleration and tire compound make a huge difference in tire wear
