It is the global trend in car manufacturers: tyres are always quieter. Thus also less safe. Dunlop says that they have found to be the noise to further reduce.

Dunlop calls the Noise Shield. A layer of foam on the inside of the band, the sound of the vibrating air would need to absorb. The peak noise of this noise, also known as bandholteresonantie (TCR), would by the foam layer 11 dBA decrease. According to Dunlop, this would mean that there is 4 dB less noise in the interior arrives.

If it really works? However, we do not have your own meter vibration next to the tires hung, but Audi has to apply to the RS6, RS7 and the new A8. It would also have no effect on the performance of the band or on the speed of the car.
