Car tyres produce vastly more particle pollution than exhausts, tests show

A set of tires will shed about 30 pounds of rubber pasted onto the roadway over their lives. A typical gas exhaust will produce 18 metric tons of CO2 over the same distance.

This comparison is a huge distraction. One might as well complain that tires produce infinitely more steel belted waste as compared to exhaust.

C02 has some impact / ton that is different than the impact / ton of rubber particles. The fact that cars produce different numbers of the two is in itself meaningless.

This is getting spammed on purpose, probably as part of some anti-regulation effort. More lies from corporations.

Is this based on the same study which misattributed ALL particles the car kicked up off the road as being made of tires?
