As we move beyond the internal combustion engine & engineer a transfer to #electricvehicles, the #pollution caused by the particles shed by #tyres is going to become more obvious as an #emissions & #health issue.
Already regulatory interventions are being considered on both sides of the Atlantic & tyre manufactures are looking (ahead of new laws) to mitigate particulate shedding from contact with the road.
This is likely to be a growing issue... one result: even more expensive tyres?
