Just the tires can cost 5 6 times more expensive ... (or more for the low waist style 18 inch but it's not significant) ...
Now as you say: the guy who is paying a car to 50 000 € I think he is ready to put 2 3000 € extra maintenance per year ... the same for the sticker.
But again: the mass of small vehicles (= all of us on this forum) has much more impact than the big ones (cons for some) who roll in 4x4 / SUV ... I do not legitimize them but it is an observation. And the figures of the document found by Did prove it ...
Watch out, did67 is in the package of cons because it has a C5, but equipped with LPG, for me it is equivalent to a small one in terms of GLOBAL pollution (+ CO2 but so much less breathable pollution; like this, it will release an official study on the damage of pollution in the city on health).
Large vehicles there are still a good package and especially diesels which send their particles.
