You are moving goal posts now. You went from 3 series, to trucks tires, and now are talking about damage to road which I haven't seen anyone in this thread bring up. Though I may have missed it since its getting long


Edit, my truck tires cost less than the examples people game earlier of car tires, and they are on 30,000 miles with plenty of life left


Post I replied to just happened to mention 3 series. I was simply responding to the weight argument in general. I've already address the fact that I don't think anyone on this board actually cares about their tires wearing 20% faster. If they did, they would drive like grandmas to counter it, which would matter far more than the weight of the vehicle.

I brought up the road damage "issue" because it's what people have been obsessed with for years now when they reference EV weight. Tire wear is extremely new to the silly whining game.

Gotcha, and I must've missed all the road damage arguments, this is the first I've heard that one. I'd be on your side on that one since there are significantly heavier vehicles of all types using the road daily, but again, you are the first person I've seen reference that.

I am just against any gov mandates of EVs and although I personally like most EVs, I believe any impact to the environment or added costs to the consumer should be pointed out and argued to build opposition to mandates.
