Goodyear SoundComfort wins consumer accolade
Open-cell foam cuts down the noise
SoundComfort technology involves adding an open-cell polyurethane foam element to the inner surface of the tyre to reduce air vibrations. The company says it cuts noise by half – up to 4 decibels – resulting in a noticeably quieter journey within the car.
The foam is sufficiently light to have no impact on fuel consumption. It also has no effect on speed.
