Tor provides a secure connection by routing your internet traffic through 3 nodes, ensuring your IP remains anonymous. The first node knows your IP but not the content or destination of your data. Tor nodes are run by volunteers, similar to Bitcoin.
Many VPNs are considered honeypots, as exposed by Edward Snowden, with real-world examples to support this.
It seems there's a misunderstanding about the Tor network.
Tor does not leak IP addresses, and even if it did, no data would be associated with those addresses.
Tor nodes cannot see web traffic. If you wish to avoid your ISP detecting Tor usage, consider using Snowflake (https://snowflake.torproject.org/). Snowflake conceals Tor usage, while a VPN (honeypot) might reveal it.
Using a VPN with Tor generally offers no benefits, and for multiple reasons, I would advise against using a VPN even for regular internet usage. However, with Tor, a VPN does not make any sense.
