hi guys, noob here, just curious, i've just changed 2 new front tires and got me thinking:
since i live in condo, my carpark at level 4, means every time i wanna head out need to pusing 4 levels and the ramps up each level are kinda rough.
will this cause my tire wear increased significantly compared to normal cars that staying landed?

yea, cant change much about that at the moment, but was wondering like how significant the wear will be comparing to those staying landed.
in the end will it take 1-2 years life off the tire?

You can take off the tyres first then put them back after reaching the ground floor. Can prevent wear and tear then.

I don't think so if one thinks in terms of total km of condo parking 'road' travelled during a typical tire life of 50-80k km, majority of which the condo 'road' is smooth as rendered cement (vs public road pavement roughness) and limited speed of 5-10 km/hr.
Do we hear tyres travelling on better KL roads has higher tyre life than those in small towns and kampung like Semenyih?
One's tyre lifes are hugely improved by avoiding replacing tyres with residual tread depth of 4mm, 3mm , 2mm or 1.8mm if you know what I mean.

Edit: Tyre wear is hugely if not solely caused by wheel misalignment on street cars, aside from harshness of braking.

You are not using F1 soft tyres lah :x the distance within a carpark is negligible.

But daily driving for km's on rough highway like Federal will defo wear out much faster. Also driving habit..if you drive smoothly and don't stomp on brakes it reduces tyre wear too.

Increased? Yes. Significant? No. Need to worry? Not at all. If you're worry about tyre... how about engine? Need extra 4 levels of work, need to change oil sooner? gosh... just chill la and enjoy your drive.

There is nothing you can do apart from driving more gently in the carpark. Besides tyres, you wear out your steering rack, drive shafts, suspensions, and those ball joints too.

Simple, park outside and risk summon, car lost, rain etc to save few km of tire wear

Drive shafts in fwd cars too suffer from great stress at the universal joints when we accelerate with wheels fully turned.
