This was, in my experience, not true. Ask most Tesla owners as well.
The heavier car + much better acceleration created more tire wear than any improvements to traction control from faster power response (though I'm not sure intrinsically why that would reduce wear - ICE cars can apply brakes to a slipping tire just as well as an EV, and instant torque doesn't feel like it would do anything positive for tire wear).
Fitting lower rolling resistance tires on ICE cars would provide any of the same benefits that EVs receive.
Part of the issue is that modern run-flat tires have stupidly low lifespans, like 20K miles. I have a Tesla and opted for non-run-flats with my latest change and I don't think my tires wear any faster than other cars I've had.

I suspect "ludicrous mode" will be less likely in semis. Truckers have a pretty good incentive to maximize cost savings; they don't need crazy acceleration like a high-end consumer sedan might want.
The tires my Tesla came with lasted only about 20,000 miles. I replaced them with better tires and those are not even close to wearing out after 30,000 additional miles.
