The variable pitch tread block design decreases the road noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. It generates a sound frequency that negates the road noise created while the tire is in motion. This significantly lowers the road noise levels heard by the passengers. The dual compound and ESCOT Technology work together to reduce road vibrations. The ESCOT Technology optimizes the casing shape, sidewall stiffness, and the tread's contact with the road, which lowers the road vibrations, while the dual compound absorbs the remaining driving shock. The result is an enjoyable driving experience.
