The symmetric ribbed tread design and the flat footprint work together to lower the road noise and vibration levels. The tread design channels airwaves through the footprint, without allowing their contact with the tread elements. This prevents soundwave creation, which avoids road and tread pattern noise from being heard in the vehicle's cabin while the tires are in motion. On the other hand, the flat footprint's close surface contact allows the tire to absorb the shock of driving, greatly minimizing the road vibrations felt by the passengers. As road disturbances are unable to ruin the passengers' driving enjoyment, guaranteeing a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
