Sure, it helps. However not only are EVs heavier, but there's a significant incentive to use narrow tires (for the weight) to increase efficiency and range.
As a result, while not skidding, it's easy to accelerate, brake, or decelerate enough to scrub the tires hard enough to wear quickly.
It's pretty well known that Teslas are hard on tires. One benefit is I rarely use brakes instead of regenerative braking. Having AWD does seem to help on that front.
