A method steers a self-driving vehicle (SDV) onto a particular tire path on a roadway based on what type of tires are on the SDV. The method determines a pattern of tire path usage by vehicles on a roadway, and a type of tire upon which the SDV is riding. The method then directs an on-board computer on the SDV to drive the SDV on at least one specific tire path on the roadway based on the pattern of tire path usage by the vehicles on the roadway and the type of tire upon which the SDV is riding.
