The increased weight due to the battery is the bigger issue for wear on tires. A lot of EVs weigh a good 500kg more than their ICE counterparts.

I think bigger issue is torque. EVs have lot more torque and it is easier to use, so they can slip more often which then leads to wear.

My understanding is that the torque control speed is much faster though, so it's actually difficult to get the tires to slip. I can't screech my tires in my EV, but it'll do 0-60 ridiculously fast.
