Tesla Tires - Road Noise Reducing

[smilepak]

FYI

Wonder anyone read this

Did you know Tesla uses a noise reducing tire technology?

Interesting, I don't think it is in the 2015 70D model, curious if anyone noticed it?

It would make sense to do this, since you hear a lot more road noise in a Tesla since you don't have the white noise of an engine to drown out the noises. However, maybe it shouldn't make sense if you wanted to drown out the little noises, you would want to have the white noise of the tires at least.
It's definitely something people who live along a busy road might appreciate!

Tested: Do Acoustically Insulated Tires Really Hush Road Noise?

I wish they would focus on wind noise. Far bigger problem than the tire noise.

I've done the Conti's in noise reducing and non and found no appreciable difference (agreeing with the above article).

Good to know. I might cross that out of my list of potential replacement. I wasnt able to find it on Tires.com or Tirerack.com in any case.
