Tire tread for reducing noise

Abstract

Present disclosure provide a tread for a tire having a plurality of grooves formed in the tread, a plurality of contact elements delimited by a plurality of grooves and having circumferential surfaces, transverse surfaces and a contact surface intended to come into contact with ground during rolling, the contact element having a height H, and at least one connecting member connecting the transverse surface of the contact element to the transverse surface of the circumferentially adjacent contact element, a distance h between one of the connecting members and the contact face is at most equal to 30% of the height H, and a material of the connecting member is different from a material of the contact element, and a Young modulus of the material of the connecting member is higher than a Young modulus of the material of the contact element.
