This is just particle pollution though. Not that big part of the climate crisis, but very unhealthy and a problem in cities as I understand.

A big problem in cities. Is already known to cause serious diseases in humans, and the research is only beginning now. We don't know anything about the effects on wildlife.

Yes I agree but I wanted to oppose the title, suggesting a little bit that the big problem with cars is tire pollution, but the biggest problem is global warming.
