A VERY HUSH-HUSH JOB

-

One problem that threatens to dog EV drivers is road noise, something that becomes more prominent the quieter the cabin gets. Noise can potentiall­y become worse still with the lightweigh­t tyres developed especially for electric vehicles. Sumito Rubber Group (which includes brands such as Falken Tyre Europe) has produced its first replacemen­t EV tyres in China incorporat­ing its Silent Core foam technology, which dampens noise vibration. Falken will launch the similar E.ZIEX in Europe in 2023.
