I have a respiratory illness from air pollution, and never had problem with tire pollution created by electric vehicles. Even with LNG vehicles I feel somewhat better.

Tires may create big particulates, but they are easy to filter. The small molecules that I am sensitive to are extremely hard to filter from the air.

Without defining the central term of its central thesis (let alone citing any sources) it's generous to even call this an article.

A higher number is, in terms of emission, worse.

Of course higher numbers are worse in an apples-to-apples comparison. The question is whether this is that.

For example, maybe tail pipe emissions make climate change worse, but kicking up dust on the road gives people lung disease.
