摘要

A tire comprising an innerliner (18) having an innerliner surface facing an interior cavity (24) of the tire (10), a silicone adhesive layer (22) and a foam noise damper (20) is disclosed. The foam noise damper (20) is disposed on the silicone adhesive layer (22). The silicone adhesive layer (22) is disposed on the innerliner surface facing the interior cavity (24) of the tire (10), or a release agent is disposed on the innerliner surface facing an interior cavity (24) of the tire (10) and the silicone adhesive layer (22) is disposed on the release agent. Also, a method for making a tire comprising a foam noise damper (20) is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of applying a silicone adhesive (22) to the innerliner surface to form an adhesive prepared surface, applying a solid foam noise damper (20) to the adhesive prepared surface, and curing the adhesive.
