To work - to provide traction - car tires need to be soft and grippy. This means that as they roll along, tiny, tiny flakes will stick to, or get rubbed off by the road surface instead. Also, when cornering for instance, the tire can't roll perfectly, but parts of it will be sliding, increasing wear even further.
