AKRON, Ohio (AP) - The thumpity-bumpity of a flat tire or the corner squeal from under-in flation may be the only music you hear from the tires on your car. But engineers at Goodyear say car tires are always emitting mu sical sounds as they roll. The mu sical tunes reverberate in the lug grooves to produce a wide scale of frequencies. Varying the frequencies re duces the chances that an annoy ing recurring tone will be pro duced, said Jim Thompson, chief of tire vehicle engineering at Goodyear. "Tire design and engineering really are similar conducting an orchestra," Thompson said. "To make beautiful music, all of the musical instruments have to be in place — all tread elements have to be tuned to the proper pitches." The key is to engineer a tire that makes no distinct sound without sacrificing other perfor mance characteristics, such as ride, handling and traction. "One person's noise is another person's music," Thompson said. TKi Fi fc.vYUx.vo...
