So higher tire wear, zero emissions in the city. EVs are a step change in air pollution in the city - I whole heartedly disagree. Looks like we need to work on better tire technology as well (they cause a lot of problems in the local runoff of water).

very interesting read for people curious -- one way that tire wear pollution is causing problems

Fascinating. And good science. Thanks for sharing

Yes, and also discourage private car use in general in the city in favor of less polluting alternatives. Cities are where mass transit and cycling are most viable as alternatives to driving and where the effects of air pollution from driving are most pronounced.
