Like silvercar I'd never had a car with any decent performance as I never had the money or inclination, so traffic light grand prix was not for me. So it's very much the driver not the car influencing tire wear. But EVs are useful for motorway on ramps and passing cyclists safely, and that probably doesn't impact tire wear much. The rest of the time I probably anticipate better for the reasons outlined above.

To be fair I think that's actually better than our diesel cars. Some were only getting 12-15k out of the front tyres on a front wheel drive with all the weight of the engine in the front. May have got 18k with very gentle driving.

My TM3 is just approaching the first MoT and the tyres still have plenty of tread remaining at 33k miles.
