A system and method are disclosed for indirect tire wear modeling and implementation. Data storage network has stored thereon accessible finite element (FEA) models and corresponding direct tire wear models for each of various types of tires. A computing network is functionally linked to the data storage network and configured to iteratively develop a control model scaling values for various tire parameters for a selected control tire, from the types of tires having a corresponding accessible FEA model, to respective values for the tire parameters for an arbitrary type of tire lacking a corresponding accessible FEA model. For a provided first type of tire lacking a corresponding accessible FEA model, corresponding values are obtained for the tire parameters, and an indirect tire wear model is generated for the first type of tire based on the first control model, the corresponding direct tire wear model, and the obtained tire parameter values.
