Tire wear causes massive pollution... now what?
Some apparently old news made the headlines over here today.
Apparently half of the microplastics pollution is caused by tire wear...!
The rogues gallery of microplastics
I suspect someone is off a thousand in one of the calculations. After all, a set of tires lasts several years on the average car.
Yet, what if this is really true?
I never gave microplastic pollution as a factor any thought in selecting my car tires, but I might from now on.
