This depends on your driving style. I was listening to a person from a lease company on the fully charged podcast recently who literally runs the numbers on their fleet of EVs calling this out as largely a myth (one of several). At scale, they are not really seeing a difference relative to ICE cars. And they'd know because with a lease car, replacing tires is their problem. Some people of course drive their EVs aggressively and wear out the tires faster. But that's true if you have a muscle car too. Doing donuts in the parking lot just wears out your tires. And if you are in Germany and like seeing how fast your car can go regularly that also wears out your tires. The driving style is a much bigger factor than the weight of the car. But otherwise the numbers are about the same for ice cars and evs in terms of frequency of needing tire replacements. For most people the novelty of abusing their tires wears of quickly. And because most EVs use regenerative braking, the main issue with the brakes in EVs is that they are used so infrequently that they need to be replaced because of corrosion issues. You actually need to use the brakes once in a while to keep them clean and functioning apparently.
