Just gotta say I love these type threads that send me down a rabbit hole of knowledge.

Nobody is arguing that tire wear doesn't effect revs per mile but they disagree that other things can as well. The link I posted earlier is concerning semi truck tires and it is from a tire manufacturer so I
guess that could be a reason to not to believe their findings.
Here is an excerpt from the Report of the 46th National Conference on Weights and Measures 1961 which can be read free

Keep in mind that this was published over half a century ago regarding variations in odometer readings and was not a specific study on tire revolutions. But the fact stands that their findings indicated that tire revolutions will vary by factors other than only tread wear.
