Tires are actually kind of an advanced technology and inventing an alternative that is less polluting but somehow equally durable and good at moving and stopping cars is not trivial
But yes we will need new tire material eventually or new technologies entirely like magnetic repulsion cars or whatnot

Yeah air quality mostly increases but what doesn’t increase and actually gets worse are microplastics
We don’t measure microplastics when sources talk about air quality and pollution
So solution is… make tyres out of new materials

Not really simple or easy
