APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR CALCULATING AND/OR MONITORING A TIRE WEAR RATE OF A VEHICLE

A computer-implemented method for calculating a tire wear rate of a vehicle, the method comprising obtaining technical data of at least one tire of a vehicle obtaining technical data of the vehicle, obtaining data of at least one in-operational measurement of at least one property of at least one tire of the vehicle; and calculating a tire wear rate based at least in part on the obtained technical data of the at least one tire of the vehicle, the obtained technical data of the vehicle and the obtained data of the at least one in-operational measurement of at least one property of the at least one tire of the vehicle according to a self-tuning mathematical tire wear model.
