These factors influence the running noise
As a general rule, hard wheels are used for soft floors and soft wheels for hard floors. Soft treads tend to run more smoothly and produce less noise. Harder wheels can cause more running noise, especially in the event of shocks caused by uneven ground. On softer floors or at low loads, however, hard wheels also run with low noise emission and offer high running comfort.
In addition to wheels with hard and soft tyres, you can also obtain the TENTE hybrid wheel (HUR) from us. This wheel combines a hard polyamide tread with a soft rubber core. This enables us to offer you a hard yet noise-reduced wheel that can be used on both soft and hard surfaces.
