More tyre wear occurs on takeoff than landing, when the aircraft is heavier.
Is that your opinion, or do you have a source for that information? No offense meant, but it sounds unlikely to me - where does the tyre wear come from on a wheel that is neither driving or braking the vehicle. Presumably a small amount from the flexing of the tyre, but surely not as much as under braking?
