After reading the article about tire longevity on the Rivian (https://www.thedrive.com/news/rivians-tires-are-wearing-out-in-as-little-as-6000-miles-heres-why), It has me wondering. Currently I replace my summer tires about every 5-6 years, and my winter tires about every 3-4 years. My guess would be that with the CT and judicious driving I'll probably be replacing my tires about twice as frequently as I do on my current pickup.
Also, with EVs slowly but surely replacing ICEs, that's a whole lotta tires getting replaced far more frequently. What impact will that have on the tire manufacturing and availability in the near future, and what about all the waste generated. Will tire graveyards turn into mountains?
