As far as I'm aware, tire particles are not a relevant contributor to global warming. We should try to improve there, and I would support regulatory goals around that. EVs are also only about 20% worse on tire wear compared to gas cars (due to the weight), so it's not like double or anything. Tire wear just isn't a significant issue for the most pressing concerns we have. (But again, worth looking into.) Also, I'm not just talking about tailpipes. EVs are better from a carbon perspective over the whole life of the car, including both manufacturing and use. The only way to achieve our climate goals is to actually reduce carbon emissions. It's not necessary to eliminate private cars to do this. I think we should invest in plenty of other transit types that are proven to lower carbon emissions. But cars aren't going away and they don't need to. It's a false choice between "reducing the need for cars" and "making cars more efficient". We can do both, but EVs are going to be a major part of reducing carbon emissions for personal transport.
