Tesla tyres

Recently I have fitted new tyres to a number of Tesla cars, Model X, Model S and Model 3, one thing many owners have not realised is that there are specific tyres designed for Tesla cars. The Tesla Mark - is the letters TO on the sidewall of the tyre. They also tend to be either 'Acoustic' or ' Silent' tyres, these are denoted by small lettering on the tyre. These 'quiet' tyres are fitted with a layer of foam around 25mm thick all around the inside of the tread area, with the idea that the foam deadens some of the road noise.

I had a customer last week who ordered standard Michelin Pilot Sport4 tyres for his Model3, we took an extra set of 'Tesla Michelins' along as an option. I explained the difference between the two tyres to the owner and showed him on his old tyres that they were TO Acoustic tyres. He hadn't realised there was a difference and wanted to have the same fitted again. There is a small price difference, but for some it is worth it to have the correct tyres that are designed to give the best ride for the car.
