Hi all, Anyone had tried LM703? I happened to hear from an acquaintance that its a quiet tyre with good grip. I did a goggle but most information in Japanese... http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb64...12/ai_n25767344 "Akron, Ohio -- Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd has developed technology to suppress tyre cavity noise--a growing problem in certain original equipment fitments--using polyurethane foam mounted to the tyre's inner liner. Sumitomo is marketing a line of quiet tires--the Dunlop LeMans LM703-in Japan using the technology along with a noise-optimised tread pattern and a belt overlay of polyethylene naphthanate, or PEN, yarn, which the company claims works better than nylon to suppress noise." Is this a new technology in reducing tyre noise? By placing a polyurethane foam inside the tyre? Anyone had tried this tyre, appreciate your comment. Thank you.
