I ran over a nail and had a slow leak with one of my tires this week.
In getting it repaired at Discount Tire, they brought the tire into the waiting room to show me that Tesla has added inch thick foam to the inside of the tires (over the tread portion) to assist with noise suppression. They all seemed very impressed that a manufacturer would do such a thing, and it turned into a nice little promo for Tesla to the others waiting.
Was anyone aware of this? Just one of the reasons that my new 2016 90D is so much quieter than my 2013 85...
