Patent ID: 8034868

Claim:
A tire having a tread comprising a rubber composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a rubber component containing a modified conjugated diene-based polymer having a fullerene bonded thereto in an amount of 0.001 to 2 molecules per one molecular chain of the modified conjugated diene-based polymer and a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 or more and present in an amount of 0.5 to 100% by weight based upon the total amount of the rubber component and 5 to 100 parts by weight of a reinforcing filler wherein said reinforcing filler is at least one member selected form the group consisting of carbon black and silica, wherein the modified conjugated diene-based polymer is synthesized by reacting (i) growing terminal anions formed by anionic polymerization of a conjugated diene-based monomer, or an aromatic vinyl monomer and a conjugated diene monomer, and (ii) a fullerene.
