Do folding bike tires wear out faster?

[Ana]

Since folding bikes have smaller tires and the tires have more revolutions for the distance traveled, do they wear out faster than 650's or 700's?

I wondered this after seeing a folding bike in town :)

Yes. We're doing really well to get 1k out of our Bike Friday tires - and they aren't any less expensive...

Do you really think your mother is going to wear bikes out?

No, it was an unrelated question that occurred to me when I saw the small tires. It is highly unlikely that she will ever wear out her tires ;)

I have not noticed a difference between my 700-C bike and my folding bike. Maybe I'm just not riding enough!:o
