We have a '22 Model Y LR that has 255/45/19 Have any of you replaced the originals with a tire without the foam?

We are considering the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 -- replacing the OEM Continental ProContact RX (with foam).

Hoping we don't take too big of a hit on road noise. Or is the foam thing just another scam?

If road noise is a concern, you may be choosing the wrong tire. I don't have experience with either tire but Tire Rack has a nice test article:

I believe these are the Tire Rack links for each tire you're considering:

I don't drive a ton of miles and wasn't looking for the absolute best. A Tesla used car dealer suggested Lexani EV. I checked into them and gave them a try. Been happy with them for a couple weeks. About $650 installed at wal mart.

Thanks!

But that's not good to see, the #2 on that list, the Continentals, is exactly what we have (OEM) had since day 1, and I thought they sucked!

Mayonnaise and mustard or GTFO

Had the Yokohamas, and they were pretty good for noise and efficiency, bought into the hype of the hankook ion evos, they were a lot more expensive for almost as good performance as the Yokohamas.

Right now I'm on discount tire phantom hrx. Probably the quietest tire I've had, but I lost some efficiency. Though, worth it as they were a lot cheaper and I can charge for free at work anyway

I have a 23 model Y LR but with 20 inch wheels. I just got a new set of michelin defender 2, and I do not notice any noise difference. I moved up to 255/45r20 (oem is 255/40r20) and I've noticed a smoother ride and improved efficiency. I have about 700 miles on them. I think foam is overhyped for the additional cost..
