        Could be, but that’s a very strange choice of language by the author. You scuff a tyre, you scratch or gouge a rim typically.

          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
