How is Bridgestone Innovating Tyre Technology?
For modern vehicles, in premium and electric cars, road noise is a big problem, and the higher the levels of cabin quietness, the better the experience of driving. With the advanced noise reduction solution of B-Silent Technology, Bridgestone Tyres Bedford has advanced solutions for reducing road noise while not compromising on the performance of the tyres. In particular, the technology is very beneficial for models of luxury sedans and electric vehicles since engine noise is already negligible, and hence, the road noise is more prominent. How Does B-Silent Technology Work? In one such example of how Bridgestone’s B-Silent Technology specifically works, it is focused on targeting air cavity resonance, a major cause of tyre noise. Within the tyre, air oscillations due to contact with the road surface can lead to loud sounds being created in the vehicle cabin. In order to solve this problem, B-Silent has a polyurethane foam layer inside the tyre that is able to absorb vibrations and mak...
