The Bridgestone Turanza T005A offers quiet drives without compromising on safety

1.    Bridgestone Turanza T005A

The Bridgestone Turanza T005A comes with an advanced tread pattern design and high-angle sipes that reduces road noise. It also comes with a reinforced sidewall and a contact patch that is optimised to reduce shocks, vibrations, and noise from the road.

And the Bridgestone Turanza T005A doesn't compromise on safety either, with an exclusive Nano Pro-Tech tread compound that is said to reduce energy loss, minimise heat generation, and deliver better performance in wet conditions. These work alongside rounded sipe edges that prevent tyre deformation and ensure a flat contact with the road, improving braking performance.

The Michelin Primacy 4 promises high safety and handling through its lifespan

2.    Michelin Primacy 4

The successor to the popular Michelin Primacy 3, the Primacy 4 is the latest comfort-oriented tyre from Michelin that focuses on safety and handling to ensure all consumers can drive with confidence throughout the tyre's lifespan, right down to the legal minimum tread depth of 1.6mm.

The Michelin Primacy 4 utilises the firm's second generation Silent Rib Technology that interlocks bands between tread blocks to minimise road noise on the go, ensuring that all vehicle occupants get a silent and comfortable ride. The Michelin Primacy 4 also excels in wet conditions, thanks to a new tyre sculpture that improves water evacuation and wet braking performance. It also uses a new rubber compound that bonds rubber and silica more powerfully and evenly, allowing uniform energy dissipation upon contact with the road.

This Dunlop SP Sport LM705 is inspired by the quiet fashion in which Japanese ninjas operate

3.    Dunlop SP Sport LM705

The Dunlop SP Sport LM705 is a Japanese tyre designed to deliver high comfort and low noise. It uses Dunlop's Shinobi technologies and a redesigned tread pattern that raises the total number of individual blocks, allowing a greater dispersion of shocks from the road and better vibration suppression.

The tyres also come with a more flexible sidewall to help them absorb shocks from the road even more effectively to deliver maximum comfort, while a rounder footprint also allows the LM705 to contact the road surface gradually for a smoother driving experience. The car also sports serrated groove walls to control airflow over the tread surface to reduce tyre noise further when driving at high speeds.

The tyre also offers high tread elasticity and increased flexibility for better wear resistance on rough road conditions and over a wide range of temperatures, allowing users to enjoy high mileage, come rain or shine.
