      I mean I disagree. A gouge would be a big chuck taken out, a scratch would be a more surface level line where as a scuff would be a patch of surface level damage. I doubt I would ever use scuff in terms of a tyre either.

      That is the wonders of language though, everyone uses it differently :D

        Language is wonderful when you know how to use it. Rims are rims, tires are tires and both together are wheels.

        I’ll give you scuffs; you certainly understand what a scuff is though.

        Easy easy, lemon squeezy.

          I mean if you want to be pedantic then;

          Wheel: “a circular object connected at the centre to a bar, used for making vehicles or parts of machines move”

          So a rim or alloy can and is a wheel with or without a tyre ;)
