This time I had the opportunity to test the sound dampening on the Continental ContiSilent tires to see if they really make a difference and got some surprising results.
If you’re just interested in the results, you can skip to 16:00
This video was also made with footage from the Blackvue DR650S-2CH dashcam, proving it can be used for more than just as evidence in case of an accident. If you are interested in getting such a dashcam in your Tesla, then visit my website on http://www.tesladashcam.be and drop me a message.

These tests are totally bogus, because each one is on a different road surface.
Thank you for the time you spent for this interesting test. I was hoping for more of a difference between the noise level of the two tyres, yet if I remember a mere three decibel difference amounts to doubling the noise level. I have an X P90D and the noise level on the striated concrete roads in Belgium can be disrupting, hope improvements continue.
You have to watch 20 vid to get a answer to a simple question. The conclusion at 16:00.
You should have used a real calibrated decibel meter instead. Then you could have had a decimal too and maybe more accurate result. Also the traffic should be the same so maybe the test should be made at night.
Look at the website with the tires. They indicate the Michelin is quieter than the Continental!
The car should have better soundproofing…especially for that price..A Mercedes S Class is way quietter despite running on fuel…
Jesus, 20 minutes… This should last 5 minutes TOPS.
anyway there’s no difference.. so what about comfort… i mean which one is more comfortable..
