2. Roadway noise - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadway_noise

   Roadway noise is the collective sound energy emanating from motor vehicles. It consists chiefly of road surface, tire, engine/transmission, aerodynamic, and braking elements. Noise of rolling tires driving on pavement is found to be the biggest contributor of highway noise and increases with higher vehicle speeds. [1] [2] [3]

3. Low rolling resistance tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_rolling_resistance_tire

   Low rolling resistance tires are designed to reduce the energy loss as a tire rolls, decreasing the required rolling effort — and in the case of automotive applications, improving vehicle fuel efficiency as approximately 5–15% of the fuel consumed by a typical gas car may be used to overcome rolling resistance.

4. Rubberized asphalt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubberized_asphalt

   Rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC), also known as asphalt rubber or just rubberized asphalt, is noise reducing pavement material that consists of regular asphalt concrete mixed with crumb rubber made from recycled tires. Asphalt rubber is the largest single market for ground rubber in the United States, consuming an estimated 220,000,000 pounds ...

5. Rules of the Road: Heard of low-rolling-resistance tires ...

   Low pressure also causes uneven wear and a need to replace tires sooner. Even more important than saving a few pennies per trip on gas, underinflated tires decrease stability and traction, and ...

6. Tire tread - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_tread

   Mountain bike and some motorcycle tires feature tread similar to off-road tires used on cars and trucks but may sometimes include an unbroken tread that runs along its center. This feature provides better traction and lower noise on asphalt at high speed and on high tire pressure, but retains the ability to provide grip on a soft or loose ...

7. Siping (rubber) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siping_(rubber)

   Tire tread block shapes, groove configurations, and sipes [citation needed] affect tire noise pattern and traction characteristics. Typically, wide, straight grooves have a low noise level and good water removal. More lateral grooves usually increase traction [citation needed]. Sipes are small grooves that are cut across larger tread elements.
