Bad for the tires

I had to get some new tires recently, got the Michelin MXV IV's. The guy said what kills tires is all the turning. I thought it was high highway speeds, but he said the turning and grinding on pavement grinds the rubber. I'll try this on a rainy day in the mud, will prevent me from having to jack the car up or grinding my new tires down!

Thanks,
