Honest question, tires, or brakes? I was under the impression brake dust was the worst polluter. I'm sure tires aren't great either, but they should be equivalent between EV's and ICE cars. Brakes last significantly longer on EV's and therefore would help with pollution.

EVs -can- have worse tire pollution in some cases, i.e. low rolling resistance tires and increased weight compared to similar ICE.

EVs tend to be heavier, so are harder on tyres.

The difference is 1.3x more tyre wear vs 10x less brake wear…
