You're getting down voted but you're right. I don't think people realize that most tires are now made from synthetic rubber, AKA plastic.

Also someone tried to disprove you by posting a list with ICE trucks being as heavy as EV cars. Like what? Of course trucks are heavier. EV Trucks are even heavier than that and an EV subcompact will be much heavier than an ICE compact. Also everyone is talking about how trucks and SUVs are getting heavier and bigger. So not sure what they mean by "we never talk about this with trucks!"

That is a list of the most sold vehicles in the US. Where are the people lining up to say the ICE trucks that are so popular are causing all this tire pollution?

This is not what was said. Nobody said they aren't.
