Title: Tyre pollution
Post by: Mick_J on Wednesday, 25 March 2020, 08:00 PM
Just saw this, wonder if the government will now make us change to a much harder (American) tyre to reduce pollution and tax you on the number of tyres your vehicle has and forget about petrol and diesel tax.

It's another reason electric cars are shit. I believe tyre & brake pollution is more the size of dangerous particles than petrol emissions.

All that carbon black washed into the waterways, not to mention the process to make it (burn't oil).
