Assuming that this really is a problem (which other comments have thrown into doubt), I see potential conflicts between vehicle safety and fixing this. One obvious solution is harder tires that don't wear as much. But these tend to have worse grip, which means worse braking performance (and cornering, etc.). They also mentioned that reducing the weight of cars would help, but one of the reasons cars have gotten heavier over the last few decades is the addition of a bunch of safety equipment.
