The tread design and the close road contact work together to lower the road noise and vibrations. Optimal groove pattern channels airwaves through the footprint, preventing their contact with the tread elements. In this manner, sound waves are not generated while the tires are in motion. The footprint is able to absorb the shock of driving, minimizing the road vibrations felt by the passengers. This ensures the high driving comfort levels in the vehicle's cabin. This specific tire is marked with OE as it is the original equipment tire of select vehicles. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years.
