    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 ;)
