Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rubber composition for use in tires comprises: WT part(s) by weight of an aromatic modified terpene resin having a softening point of 100° C. or higher per 100 parts by weight of a diene rubber, the diene rubber containing a total of 50% by weight or greater but less than 90% by weight of a butadiene rubber and an emulsion-polymerized styrene butadiene rubber, wherein the butadiene rubber is contained in an amount of 35% by weight or greater but less than 65% by weight and the emulsion-polymerized styrene butadiene rubber is contained in an amount so that an amount of bonded styrene is 35% by weight or greater. In the rubber composition, the ratio of the compounded amount of the butadiene rubber (WB part(s) by weight) to the compounded amount of the aromatic modified terpene resin (WB/WT) is from 2.5 to 5.0.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A rubber composition for use in a tire, the rubber composition comprising: 100 parts by weight of a diene rubber and WT part(s) by weight of an aromatic modified terpene resin having a softening point of 100° C. or higher, the diene rubber containing a total of 50% by weight or greater but 90% by weight or less of an unmodified butadiene rubber and an emulsion-polymerized styrene butadiene rubber, the unmodified butadiene rubber being contained in an amount of 35% by weight or greater but less than 65% by weight and the emulsion-polymerized styrene butadiene rubber being contained in an amount so that an amount of bonded styrene is 35% by weight or greater; and a ratio of a compounded amount of the unmodified butadiene rubber (WB part(s) by weight) to a compounded amount of the aromatic modified terpene resin (WB/WT) being from 2.5 to 5.0. 2. The rubber composition for use in a tire according to claim 1 , further comprising from 50 to 120 parts by weight of a filler per 100 parts by weight of the diene rubber; and the filler has 10% by weight or greater of silica having a CTAB specific surface area of 120 to 180 m 2 /g. 3. A pneumatic tire comprising the rubber composition for use in a tire described in claim 1 . 4. The pneumatic tire according to claim 3 , wherein the pneumatic tire is a tire for a light truck. 5. The rubber composition for use in a tire according to claim 1 , wherein the diene rubber contains a total of 60% by weight or greater but 90% by weight or less of the unmodified butadiene rubber and the emulsion-polymerized styrene butadiene rubber.
