I have 21s on my S. Depending on the road, those michelin can get loud, then other times they are perfectly quiet....They are not a lexus inside.
The tires are supposedly Tesla specific. Or that’s what I was told.
I got a flat, pulled off the highway and there happened to be a tire shop on one corner and a Pep Boys on the other.
I thought “great, I’ll pull in, they’ll take the tire off, throw on a patch and I’ll be on my way.”
But neither would do it. They said there’s some special liner inside the tires such that they couldn’t patch it like a “normal” tire.
Don’t know if that contributes to the tire noise or not, but I agree they can be noisy.
