Patent ID: 8658729

Claim:
A pneumatic tire comprising a canvas chafer produced from a rubber composition for a canvas chafer, said rubber composition comprising: a rubber component including at least one rubber selected from the group consisting of: (a) a butadiene rubber containing 2.5 to 20% by mass of 1,2-syndiotactic polybutadiene crystals, (b) a butadiene rubber having a cis content of not less than 90% by mass, and (c) a tin-modified butadiene rubber that is obtained by polymerization with a lithium initiator, and has a tin atom content of 50 to 3000 ppm, a vinyl-bond content of 5 to 50% by mass, and a molecular weight distribution of not more than 2, wherein the total amount of the rubbers (a) to (c) is 40 to 90% by mass based on 100% by mass of the rubber component; and a carbon black having a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of 65 to 130 m 2 /g, wherein the amount of the carbon black is 50 to 75 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the rubber component.
