Hot take: tire particulates are a conservative anti-EV talking point. "My V8 mustang weighs less than an EV, therefore its better on pollution than a EV because tire particulates". Totally disregarding the impact of tailpipe emissions.
No it's not, because conservatives don't think micro plastics are a problem. Pretty soon there will be truck bros making tiktoks competing to see how quickly they can destroy a set of tires just to "trigger the libs".
Anecdotally, so far I've noticed cars getting louder
I saw a thing on some US people welding fucking whistles in their car's exhausts so that they could annoy as many people as possible. Apparently it's legal in some places there.

They're loud because of safety reasons!! /s
