What does "wear and tear" mean?

The Sovereign General Insurance Company:
quot;Wear and tear" refers to the damage that gradually occurs to something as it gets used. Look at the tires of a car, for instance. The tires don't last forever, although we all wish they would. Instead, we have to periodically buy new tires because the old ones get worn out. When you replace those tires, you can't claim the old ones on your automobile policy, because the damage is not an accident - rather the damage comes from "wear and tear".
