Heavy EVs with ridiculous battery packs are hard on tires. Smaller EVs with reasonable packs are not.
The lightest EVs are still kinda heavy. The Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Bolt are nearly 4000 lbs, significantly more than a Honda Civic (high 2000's or low 3000's) comparable to a BMW M3, a much larger vehicle.
Plus some of the faster tire wear comes from the fact that EVs have such high torque from a stop. It's great for the driver experience, but tough on the tires.
