Electric vehicles (EVs) are a cleaner alternative to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, but they both release pollutants into the air from their tires.

EV tires can release pollutants due to their weight and torque. The heavy weight of EV batteries causes stress and faster wear on the tires. The higher torque of EV motors also puts more stress on the tires, especially during acceleration.

Here are some tips for reducing EV tire pollution:

• Use tires that are designed for EVs. EV-specific tires have lower rolling resistance, which means they can travel further on a single charge.
• Drive better. Avoid aggressive acceleration and braking, and keep your speed consistent.
• Keep your tires properly inflated. Underinflated tires can wear out faster.
• Avoid rough roads. Rough roads can cause more wear and tear on tires.
• Inspect and rotate your tires regularly. Replace them as needed.
• Recycle your tires. Tires can be recycled into other products, such as playground equipment and rubber mats.

It is important to remember that all tires, regardless of the vehicle they are on, release pollutants into the air as they wear down. However, EVs can help to reduce overall air pollution by emitting fewer pollutants from their tailpipes.
