@SCALETHEORY @pomarede The mission was designed to last about 700 days, but is now on day ~5000. Undoubtedly the wheels were made as light as they thought they could get away with, because every ounce matters in a rocket launch. If you make something lighter to save weight, it will necessarily be less durable. According to other comments, NASA decided the durability of the wheels wasn't as high as they were hoping and future rovers got thicker wheels, necessarily at the cost of weight.
