Application of 'K-Silent' Technology to Maximize Resonance Sound Reduction

Kumho Tire Offers Gifts to Customers Purchasing 'Resonance Noise Reduction Tires' View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Kumho Tire announced on the 1st that it will provide gifts to customers who purchase its tires in line with the continuous release of its ‘Resonance Noise Reduction Tire,’ which drastically reduces tire resonance noise.


The resonance noise reduction tire is a low-noise tire that attaches polyurethane foam sound-absorbing material inside the tire to reduce noise (resonance noise) caused by air vibrations inside the tire when the tire tread contacts the road surface.


Kumho Tire’s resonance noise reduction tire applies the ‘K-Silent (Silent) (sound absorption technology),’ which optimizes the shape and material of the sound-absorbing material to maximize the resonance noise reduction effect. The core of this technology is the shape design considering the design, area, and width of the sound-absorbing material attached to the tire. Kumho Tire developed K-Silent in 2014 and has completed domestic and overseas patent registrations for the shape and material of the sound-absorbing material.


The resonance noise reduction tires equipped with Kumho Tire’s K-Silent include the ultra-high-performance premium luxury tire 'MajestyX Solus,' the electric vehicle tires 'Majesty9 SOLUS TA91 EV' and 'Cruzen HP71 EV.' All these products offer an option for resonance noise reduction tires with foam attached, expanding consumer choices.


Jomansik, Executive Director of the Research and Development Headquarters, said, “The resonance noise reduction tire applying Kumho Tire’s proprietary K-Silent technology will be a leading product in the tire industry suitable for the future mobility era,” adding, “We will continue to provide the best driving environment to drivers based on differentiated technology and quality competitiveness.”



Meanwhile, to commemorate the launch of the resonance noise reduction tire, Kumho Tire will provide gifts to customers who purchase from today. Customers who purchase the foam-applied MajestyX Solus, Majesty9 Solus TA91 EV, or Cruzen HP71 EV at nationwide TirePro stores can choose one gift from a premium golf Boston bag or a Stanley water jug (for purchases of four tires), available while supplies last. Detailed information about the event can be found on Kumho Tire’s official website.
