Sadly the tires them self seems to be a big problem. I wonder how big share of air polution they are responsible of.

Estimates seem to be <10%, and I believe even that was by mass, so much less penetrating.

It is an issue, and I don't want lots of cars even if electric, but if you are weighing them as having similar air pollution, it's probably fearmongering, or fantasyland where cars don't have deteriorating emission control.

Tires ,but also brake pads. That's why we need to have ceramic brake discs and pads for all cars being mandatory soon.
