Tyres on small-wheel bikes wear much faster than on big-wheel bikes of course.

Easily get 6,000miles on the tyres on Mercian, but with Moulton, it's a different subject.
Tried Conti GP and the rear lasted only 1,200miles (£38.92 for the pair)
I replaced them with Conti Contact Sport, and the rear lasted much better at 2,000miles. (£42.10 for the pair)

would you think that small wheeled bikes 'weave' more down the road as well as the added rotation? hence scrubbing the tyre more?

I actually don't know.

Small wheels rotate faster per bicycle MPH than big wheels.
One rotation of a small wheel is less distance travelled than a big wheel.
Tyres are "stationary" on the tarmac at the bottom, and the top is double the speed of the actual bike.

Trouble is, a small wheel having less circumference, rotates faster, hence the rubber tyre wears more as there's less rubber per rev per mile.

So much is obvious of course, but weaving?
Dunno, and never thought about it.
