Tony... ...you are right when you mention that scrubbing and scuffing are synonyms. I have noticed that scrubbing applies also to a trailer (truck). So, I have learned something today!

ripage

Cf. Grand Dictionnaire (search using 'tire')

Having translated loads of tyre documents FR > EN, I'm pretty sure this is the dedicated term.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Daniel Marquis : I am not sure. See Termium : it gives RIPAGE = TIRE SCUFFING and it relates to a truck. Just check.

ripage applies to ALL tyred vehicles, and scuffing / scrubbing are virtual synonyms / Termium often needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, and even when accurate, its entries are far from being exhaustive...

Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : Here, it's not due to faulty geometry as such, but to the action of road-holding, ripage, etc.

You are probably right. It's a start for somebody else to find a better answer.
