Hertz recently started implementing an AI–driven vehicle scanner that scans cars before and after rentals to check for damage and issue associated charges.
I’m not saying it can’t be scuffed, I’m saying that personally I wouldn’t use it in that way because like you say I’m from an island that spells tyre with a y :p
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
I’d love to see them prove they genuinely incurred those costs, how do you go about fixing a tyre scuff?
Wheel, not tyre. So I presume they curbed an alloy or similar.
A tire can be scuffed just like a rim can be scuffed just like a wheel can be scuffed.
They are all equally valid to be scuffed.
And Tyre is old English, go back to your island. ;)

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.

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 ;)
