(Disclaimer: I'm a car guy, but I'm not here to argue about the necessity of reducing car traffic - I want fewer people on the road too!)

Clearly we're not going to get everyone out of their cars overnight, or even in the next 20 years. Besides the obvious things like getting a smaller car and using the car less in general, what can the average Joe do today?

The article says Michelin has the lowest rates of abrasion and I have no problem buying Michelin as I already buy high-end tires for peace of mind, but given that the statement comes from themselves, is there any research to verify it?
