    How much from tires when braking? I was under the impression that tires (edit: cats!) produce more pm2.5 from tires than brakes, which in turn account for more than the exhaust.

      I always understood tire deg to be microplastic/rubber not pm2.5. Brutal for the ecosystem around roadways and water bodies. Ultimately adding to the micro plastic pollution globally.
