Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A run flat tire having improved run flat durability is provided. The run flat tire has a side wall part reinforced by a side reinforcing rubber part, and the side reinforcing rubber part is formed by a rubber composition which comprises 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber containing natural rubber and polybutadiene rubber, and from 0.1 to 4.0 parts by mass of a mercaptobenzimidazole compound.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A run flat tire having a side wall part reinforced by a side reinforcing rubber part, wherein the side reinforcing rubber part is formed by a rubber composition which comprises 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber containing natural rubber and polybutadiene rubber, and from 0.5 to 1.2 parts by mass of a mercaptobenzimidazole compound, which is 2-mercaptobenzimidazole or the metal salt thereof, or at least one 2-mercaptobenzimidazole type compound selected from 2-mercaptobenzimidazole having at least one alkyl substituent in an aromatic ring and the metal salt thereof, and the rubber composition further comprises a phenol type thermosetting resin and a methylene donor, and a mass ratio of the contained amount of the phenol type thermosetting resin to the amount of the methylene donor contained is 1.5 times or more. 2. The run flat tire according to claim 1 , wherein the rubber composition has a ratio (M50H/M50N) of tensile stress (M50H) in 50% elongation at a measurement temperature of 100° C. to tensile stress (M50N) in 50% elongation at a measurement temperature of 23° C. of from 1.0 to 1.3. 3. The run flat tire according to claim 2 , wherein the rubber composition further contains at least one age resister selected from the group consisting of an aromatic secondary amine type age resister, a phenol type age resister, a sulfur type age resister and a phosphite type age resister, and a quinoline type age resister. 4. The run flat tire according to claim 1 , wherein the rubber composition further contains at least one age resister selected from the group consisting of an aromatic secondary amine type age resister, a phenol type age resister, a sulfur type age resister and a phosphite type age resister, and a quinoline type age resister. 5. The run flat tire according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the phenol type thermosetting resin is from 1 to 10 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber.
