I find the best solution is to leave cheese outside the car, when it's dark they'll jump out to feed, thats when you hit them with a shovel. Sell em on ebay for some quick cash, good for a sway bar.

Dammit. I knew I screwed up... I've been using carrots instead of cheese.

Correct you are! Measurements are based on new tyres only, so this science can never be 100%.

Here's another question...Where does all the worn off rubber go as you never see piles of rubber dust on the side of the road? The wind? We breath it in? I dunno.

You do see piles of it on the side of the race track. On the street the wear is so low that the deposits aren't typically measurable.

Well a 5-lb chunk of it hit my motorcycle helmet once while I was traveling down I-95. Always wear a helmet.
