Car manufacturers demand tyres that not only demonstrate top performance but are also quiet, helping to increase car comfort. Continental has introduced ContiSilent, a new technology that substantially reduces tyre noise inside the cabin by up to 9 dB.
The secret of ContiSilent is a coating that is bonded to the inside of the tread area after the tyre production process. This special layer of foam has a strong damping effect on the sound waves caused by the rolling tyre, so that no matter what surface the vehicle is driving on, the noise level reaching the cabin is substantially reduced.
All ContiSilent tyre components and tread pattern are adopted from standard production tyres, with no changes in performance characteristics such as braking, handling or wet performance. ContiSilent tyres are compatible with standard rims and fitting process.
