@ all Hello
I used scrub marks at the end which some of you mentioned but was not a posted suggestion. Thanks

Re.: rub marks Don't confuse these bars with tread wear indicators.

@ all I've looked again with your help. Rub and scuff marks do seem to be when the tyre gets rubbed against the kerb while scrub marks seems to be marks left on the road after an accident.

But I can't help thinking that the scrub marks left on the road must match those in the tyre.

And I don't have anything else to go with so I may well end up choosing "scrub" marks

Scuff marks This is an alternative to Scrub Marks - see references in my response.

@ Per-Erik, Eric and all Thanks. I had actually changed what I had to "rubbing" so I feel better now about this.
They also used "bromsplatta" for "flat spot" on the tyre whereas "bromsplatta" is normally a part of a the brake system. That too took me ages to resolve too.

scrub marks The friction between tyre and road surface will cause chafing and excessive tyre wear. I don't think "ränder" is the right term in Swedish. Maybe "slitmärken".
