Tire Recommendation - Quietest all season?

[dfndr90]

Idk anything about the specific tires you're referencing but I know that most tests have found a 1-2db difference in OEM tires with and without the foam inserts. 9-10db is a massive difference since the noise is measured logarithmically - this does not sound correct at all.

I may have misheard him, but I thought he said 9-10 db with the foam inserts. Sounds like you know way more about the way this works than I do. Sorry for any confusion.

I only believe ~50% of what the service techs tell me. haha

Normal highway road noise is ~70dB so bringing that down to normal conversation volume would be huge. I've not seen any tires that can make this much difference. dB chart for reference:

Thanks for sharing. I should clarify. He meant the foam would reduce existing road noise by 9-10 db. Not sure if this helps.

Maybe was talking about the “new” ev tires lol

He may have been. I will check out this new tire. Cheers.

Interesting concept. This what the new Michelin EV tire looks like with the foam insert.

I looked at those, but they are only rated 94V and not XL. The OEM tire specs for the LR Model 3 are 98W XL. I would be willing to go down a notch from the OEM speed rating from "W" to "V", but my understanding is that you should not mess with the weight rating. Am I wrong about that?

These are XL in the 19” size that I got. I have been driving the Pirelli P7 A/S Plus2 since December and can confirm they are definitely quieter than the oem Continentals.

Thanks for the link. Very interesting and looking forward to some reviews, specifically on the PM3.

I would imagine that is pretty much what the Primacy MXM (OEM 18" tire) looks like with its foam insert

Supposedly China Tesla is running these new EV tires.... maybe there is some review out there in Chinese.

Also, the Goop imitation that Tesla puts
In their tire repair kit won’t work on foam filled tires. If you have a puncture, the foam prevents the goop from getting to it to seal it.
