4. Try a tax on tires, proportional to expected lifetime of tire.

i.e. 50,000 mile tires taxed 2.5 times more than 20,000 mile tires. NOT a percentage of tire price.

Others have already proposed this. It has the obvious virtue that your tax is roughly proportional to the wear & tear you put on the roads.
