Brake pads maybe, not tires: https://www.automotiveworld.com/articles/inside-the-not-so-h...

> More weight and faster acceleration cause EV tires to wear out 20 to 50% faster than conventional car tyres, and even more sustainable tyres designed for EVs wear 26% faster than gasoline models.

Unlikely, because in spite of heavier weight the pads are used less, as a last resort.

Most braking is done by recuperation, i.e. turning the motors into generators, braking electromagnetically, so to speak.
