They produce more tire particles since they are heavier and can accelerate more aggressively.
They also use slower-wearing tires, and wear their tires less to accelerate (hence why they can use lower-wearing tires) on account of their advanced traction and throttle control.
Well, one can use slower wearing tires on ICEs too. That is a feature of tires and not cars. It is easy to replace tires. There may be something considerable in your argument that they have better traction control (which is possibly harder to do with ICEs, maybe only not as common with ICEs). But does this alone compensate for higher weight and higher accelerations of EVs? If so, do you have some good links explaining this?
