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.
