I think it depends on measure, if im not mistaken, by weight arohnd 50% of microplastics are tire dust.

Also depends on where you’re measuring. They make up a ton of the plastics in stormwater runoff for example. Sometimes up to 95% from what I found. And that stormwater often ends up in our drinking water.
