    Yeah, but tires and brake pads aren’t replaced for 20,000 miles or whatever. If you assumed that you lost the mass of the entire set of tires, you’d be burning through 400 gallons of gas at 50 MPG, 800 gallons at 25 MPG in 20k miles. Burning through that much fuel would produce much more mass than one set of tires.
