'Tire tread block, resonance reduction method and progress towards tire production'

摘要

The invention concerns tires having a composite tread block which comprises a cured elastomer and from 0.1 to 10 parts per hundred parts by weight of the elastomer of fibers characterized as having a tenacity of at least 6 grams per dtex and a modulus of at least 200 grams per dtex. A major portion of said fibers are oriented in a direction such that noise arising from tire tread contacting the road surface is reduced.
