As heavy cars drive on light-duty tires — most often made with synthetic rubber made from crude oil and other fillers and additives — they deteriorate and release harmful chemicals into the air, according to Emission Analytics.

But heavy freight trucks do more damage to road infrastructure, and their tires and brakes pollute far more than passenger vehicles. Ban all freight trucks, and go back to using rail trains to move freight. The argument about tires on EV’s is ridiculous, especially since they’re a small percentage of vehicles on the road. Might as well ban car racing events, where drivers can use up tires in a single race.

Not sure why you are arguing this point.

Two cars:
Gas 4 door- <-— Better than EV
EV 4 door- <-— Put out more pollution.

These are the facts, why you think we should BAN anything is kind of weird. No banning just facts, no need to go for banning stuff. Its just good to know the truth? Right?

This article has been buried since 2022- Maybe we should be curious as to why this article is JUST NOW coming out.
