Abstract

A rubber composition for a tire is blended with diene-based rubber containing 50 wt % or more of SBR, and 0.2 to 5 parts by weight of cyclic polysulfide represented by the below formula (I), 1 to 30 parts by weight of aromatic denatured terpene resin, 20 to 80 parts by weight of silica, and 40 to 100 parts by weight of carbon black relative to 100 parts by weight of the diene-based rubber. Further, a total blending amount of the silica and the carbon black is 70 to 130 parts by weight. In the formula, R represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 2 to 18 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted oxyalkylene group having 2 to 18 carbon atoms, or an alkylene group including an aromatic ring, x represents an average number of 2 to 6, and n represents an integer of 1 to 15.

Claims (9)

1. A rubber composition for a tire comprising diene-based rubber containing 50 wt % or more of styrene-butadiene rubber, wherein

0.2 to 5 parts by weight of cyclic polysulfide represented by formula (I) below, 1 to 30 parts by weight of aromatic denatured terpene resin, 20 to 80 parts by weight of silica, and 40 to 100 parts by weight of carbon black are blended relative to 100 parts by weight of the diene-based rubber,

a total blending amount of the silica and the carbon black is 70 to 130 parts by weight,

a styrene content in the styrene-butadiene rubber is 36 wt % to 42 wt %, and

the carbon black has a DBP absorption of 35 ml/100 g or more and less than 70 ml/100 g, a pH of 6.0 to 8.0, and a ratio of a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area (N 2 SA) to an iodine adsorption (IA) (N 2 SA/IA) of 1.10 or more,

where R represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted oxyalkylene group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, and x represents an average number of 3 to 5, and n represents an integer of 1 to 5.

2. The rubber composition for a tire according to claim 1 , wherein 0.1 to 3 parts by weight of thiuram-based vulcanization accelerator is blended relative to 100 parts by weight of the diene-based rubber.

3. A pneumatic tire comprising a tread portion containing the rubber composition for a tire according to claim 1 .

4. A pneumatic tire comprising a tread portion containing the rubber composition for a tire according to claim 3 .
