The stability of the tread elements and the optimized block stiffness optimize the road contact while the tires are in motion. In this manner, the close surface contact allows the tire to absorb the shock of driving, minimizing the road vibrations felt by the passengers. It also avoids tread flexing, allowing the tire to channel airwaves through the footprint and preventing soundwave formations. As road noise and vibrations do not reach the vehicle's cabin, the tire guarantees a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
