FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to automotive industry, particularly, to tire tread with flexible device to decreased noises related with resonance of air flowing along tire grooves all over tire circumference. Tire tread 1 is made from rubber with Shore hardness of at least 65. Said tread has at least one groove of width W and depth D. Said groove 2 is confined by two opposite tread parts connected by groove bottom 21. tread comprises multiple closing membranes 4 formed in at least one groove 2. Every closing membrane 4 closed groove 2 at, at least, 50% of groove cross-section. Note here that every closing membrane 7 has mean thickness not over 2 mm and can bend at fluid passage. Closing membranes 4 are made of material with Shore hardness of not over 62. Note here that said hardness is smaller than that of the tread.
EFFECT: decreased resonance noises.
