Hmm are you sure? I was under the impression that they do have foam.Factory 18" have no foam.
First month of owning an MX I needed to replace RR Tire.Other than an increase in road noise, any problems with using regular, non foam tires on an M3? Thanks!
Just removed stock 18s from the rims and they do have the foam.99% sure the stock 18" tires do have foam.
Great to know!!First month of owning an MX I needed to replace RR Tire.
I got a similar one without foam. One year later I've never noticed a difference.
I can assure you they have no foam. I switched the OEM tires for my winter Hakka 9’s myself on the 18” Aeros. Then mounted the OEM Michelins to a set of forged BBS 18” later. Again I did it all my self at the auto hobby shop. No accustic foam.Other than an increase in road noise, any problems with using regular, non foam tires on an M3? Thanks!
Mine didn’t. LR AWD. Took delivery in September.Just removed stock 18s from the rims and they do have the foam.
Were they Tesla spec Michelin ?I can assure you they have no foam. I switched the OEM tires for my winter Hakka 9’s myself on the 18” Aeros. Then mounted the OEM Michelins to a set of forged BBS 18” later. Again I did it all my self at the auto hobby shop. No accustic foam.
Well, I RTFA, and I conclude that 1dBA of noise difference is not significant Enough to bother trying to get foam on a single replacement or any other tire.I found this article interesting on this subject.

Yep the Michelin MXM4’s that came on it from Tesla. I unmounted them about 3 weeks after we took delivery to put on winter tires. I tried and tried to get Tesla to sell me a 2nd set of the aero rims to put winter tires on with no success. So i got some BBS from tire rack. Decided to use the Aeros for winter. I just re mounted the Michelin’s on my summer wheels last weekend and will put them on the car in the next 2-3 weeks depending on when the ice melts.Were they Tesla spec Michelin ?
When did you take delivery of the car? AWD/RWD?Mine is a fairly early production LR AWD. Did they have the tire off to patch? So Patch from the inside? I personally unmounted my tires at the auto hobby on base and there was no foam. Given Tesla’s stellar quality control I could believe some shipping with foam and some without...I can tell you that my 18" aero wheels with the Michelin Primacy MXM4 absolutely did/does have the foam. I saw it first-hand today when I had a screw in one tire and saw it get fixed.
