Tesla "Tire Costs" are tenfold more than Battery Cost per mile

I went to change my tires over today, and found out the factory tires had worn out after only 30,000 miles. To my surprise, I found out that's typical for electric vehicles, which are heavier than combustion-engine ones. Then, I found out all the replacement tires are $250 per tire and up, their prices inflated for the more affluent EV owner. 
This blog post below says people are far too concerned about the cost of replacing electric car batteries but should be much more concerned about the cost of tires for electric vehicles, because electric vehicles are so heavy they wear through tires quickly.
