Swedish term or phrase: rand, ränder
Hello

If you make a turn which is too tight for a truck and trailer, which has

medfört ***ränder*** i däcken;

what are the "ränder" called In English?

I don't think they are stripes

I've looked at common types of tyre damage (cracks, bulges etc) but can't find a word that could be "ränder"

Thanks in advance

rub marks


Explanation:
I tend to agree with Erik's discussion point that this is not the right Swedish word. Slitstänger or slitmärken would be better.
Thus 'Rand' should be translated as stripe, strip or band, but here rub mark or chafe mark would be clearer.

Example sentence(s):
  • däck gick 35 000 mil innan slitstängerna dök upp.
  • the tyre lasted 350,000 km before the rub marks appeared

Explanation:
"Tire cracks", or "tire cracking" is the correct and common expression to describe tire deformity due to stress, etc.
