EVs have very little exhaust coming out of their tailpipe. Which is one of the reasons why those are better than fossil powered charriots.

So tires being a larger source of pollution than exhaust, in relative terms, is especially true for EVs.

You make a good point, regenerative braking is probably reducing pollution in absolute terms.

What would be coming out of an EV's tailpipe? Used electrons?
