They mention that in the article. It’s not enough to offset the higher break wear.

EVs don't burn through tires quickly, they just kept you burn through tires quickly.

Tire wear is an extremely strong function of torque. If you accelerate and decelerate calmly then the stiff tires they put on EVs will last a long time.

A lot of people drive EVs extremely aggressively because the motor provides a ton of instant torque and they find it fun.

Idk, the thought of 40k miles per tire being the *high end* (maybe my figures are wrong) signals that vehicle weight despite controlled acceleration is the problem

This can also be offset by better traction control. EV engines respond to it much faster.
