The second article you reference literally says the opposite – that tires emit more particulate matter. Whether one is more toxic I have no idea, and I’m not seeing in the article where that is mentioned.
Right, it’s disproving the other guy. I just posted the study.
And I can’t find it now, but I know there was something about new brakes being more dangerous than asbestos brakes for lung health. But that also didn’t compare brakes to tires.
