If that's in place then the owner's driving conditions and local weather patterns should be polled as well. Folks living in the Great Plains will have longer tire life than someone that drives twisting hills or mountains, and someone that lives in an area with more consistent temperatures will get better longevity than someone that lives in an area with large thermal deltas.

A common tread measurement system would need to be in place as well... perhaps the quarter test.
