Patent ID: 10654995

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire comprising a tread, the tread comprising a rubber composition comprising from 30 to 80 phr of a styrene-butadiene rubber having a Tg ranging from −70 C to −40 C, from 10 to 50 phr of a high vinyl polybutadiene having a Tg ranging from −40 C to −5 C and has an isomeric vinyl 1,2 content in a range of from 50 to 90 percent by weight, and from 10 to 30 phr of a natural rubber or synthetic polyisoprene, silica, a blocked mercaptosilane, a traction resin, and liquid plasticizer selected from the group consisting of a low molecular weight polybutadiene functionalized with a hydroxyl functional group and sunflower oil.
