Heard someone at town hall say EV tires shed way more microplastics than gas cars ever could

I looked into it after that meeting and found out tire wear is basically equal across both types, so why are we letting that one stat derail the whole conversation about swapping to electric? Anyone got a source that actually breaks down the numbers on this?

Exactly @josephb35, scared headlines beat boring facts every time.

The study from Emissions Analytics put EV tire wear at 11% higher but that's basically margin of error stuff. People just LOVE a scary headline.
