    RE: low rolling resistance tires: not so sure about that. My little BEV has those tires and they wear faster. Part of it is the high torque of my car combined with the stiffer tire material means way more tire spin outs even when just driving casually.

    The extra weight of the battery even in my tiny car means more tire wear as well. So even if I get 100,000km from the brake pads I am using a lot more tire than previous ICE cars. I’m pretty conscious about that being the primary active pollutant from my travel.
