TLDR: Can I expect a quieter ride switching from Michelin 235/35 ZR20 92Y to Hankook Ion Evo AS?
Hello and thanks for all the help ya'll have already provided. I just traded my 2019 Model 3 Long Range AB for a 2020 Model 3 Performance. The Long Range had ridiculous rattles and squeaks but no road noise whatsoever. The feel of driving that car was magnificent. My Performance has no rattles but the road noise is terrible. I know this has been covered extensively: I have already installed this weatherstripping kit with negligible effectiveness: DOTAATDW Car Weather Stripping for Tesla Model 3 Door Rubber Seal Self Adhesive | eBay
The low frequency 'roar' with acceleration is what bothers me. The pitch of the roar changes with the texture of the road I'm on, and the volume increases with acceleration.
Is the solution just buying quieter tires? I've seen all the videos talking about inserting plastic in door seals, insulating the A/B pillars, putting double bubble wrap in trunk/frunk etc. But I just feel like the noise is coming from the tires. Can anyone vouch for the quietness of the 20" Hankook Ion?
Side point, The Performance driving experience is brilliant. It feels even better than the LRAB. I'm happy to talk about that more extensively if anyone is interested.
