Tires aren't 80% of microplastics pollution, that's a misreporting of the study. They're 80% of the category that includes tires, that whole category is only 11% of microplastics.

do you have the figures for synthetic clothing?

I own some synthetic clothing, and I try hang dry it as I believe drying contributes to micro plastic pollution.

I'd have to dig into the research to figure it out, numbers on synthetic fibers range from 34-50+% but how that's categorized is all over the place.
