Abstract:
A tire having a component of a rubber composition which comprises(A) elastomer(s) consisting of 100 parts by weight of at least one diene-based elastomer selected from homopolymers and copolymers of isoprene and/or 1,3-butadiene and copolymers of at least one of isoprene and 1,3-butadiene with a vinyl aromatic compound selected from styrene and alpha methylstyrene, (B) about 10 to about 150 phr of at least one particulate reinforcing filler comprised of about 10 to about 100 phr of at least one particulate synthetic silica-based material having hydroxyl groups on the surface thereof selected from at least one of aggregates of synthetic amorphous silica, fumed silica, and silica modified carbon black, and correspondingly, from zero to about 80 phr of rubber reinforcing carbon black, and (C) at least one organo-metal compound as an organo-tin compound selected from the group consisting of dibutyltin dilaurate, di-n-butylbis(2-ethylhexanoate)tin, di-n-butylbis(2,4-pentanedionate)tin, di-n-butyldiacetoxytin, di-n-butyldiacrylatetin, di-n-butyldimethacrylatetin, dimethyldineodecanoatetin, dioctyldilauryltin and dioctyldineodecanoatetin.
