Just a thought, but could these tiny diamonds be used to coat the surface of car tires to lower the amount of micro plastics they emit?

The softer material will be chewed to pieces by the harder one. How much are you willing to spend on road maintenance?

Just cover the road in diamonds, easy. Or, as a more realistic approach, enhance railway infrastructure to minimise the need for cars.
