Let's assume that you're right, and that tires are the majority of automobile pollution. EVs still pollute less. I hope that's obvious.

- gusgus01 5y agoNot sure if commenting here will alert the parent as well, but I believe that myth stems from the fact that tires create more PM (Particulate Matter) than exhaust. Exhaust of course emits much more CO2. The article discusses them separately and even mentions regenerative braking could help reduce PM, which would mean EV's could reduce both types of pollution.
