It's interesting how much recent talk there's been about tires being a major polluter in our world, and every article brings up the fact that EVs weigh more and will therefore cause more tire wear and tear. It's not a false statement, but it ignores all other pollution benefits of EVs, and I find it very suspicious that this narrative is forming as EVs start to really gain traction. There are other solutions, instead of sticking with lighter gas guzzlers: Smaller cars or, gasp, better mass transit and pedestrian/biking facilities!
