Abstract

A tire rubber composition comprises from 30 to 60 parts by weight of a silica, from 20 to 50 parts by weight of a carbon black with a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of from 120 to 150 m 2 /g, and from 50 to 80 parts by weight of an inorganic filler, which includes the silica and the carbon black, are blended per 100 parts by weight of a diene rubber that includes from 50 to 80 wt. % of a terminal-modified styrene-butadiene rubber having a vinyl unit content of 40 wt. % or more, and from 20 to 50 wt. % of butadiene rubber; an oil component in the rubber composition being from 10 to 30 parts by weight in total.

Claims (22)

1. A tire rubber composition, comprising:

from 30 to 50 parts by weight of a silica,

from 25 to 40 parts by weight of a carbon black with a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of from 135 to 150 m 2 /g, and

from 50 to 80 parts by weight of an inorganic filler, which includes the silica and the carbon black, per 100 parts by weight of a diene rubber that includes from 50 to 70 wt. % of a terminal-modified styrene-butadiene rubber having a vinyl unit content of 40 wt. % or more, and from 20 to 45 wt. % of butadiene rubber, the diene rubber being an oil extended product;

a total oil component in the rubber composition being from 20 parts by weight to not more than 25 parts by weight, the total oil component in the rubber composition consisting of oil included in the diene rubber and post addition oil;

wherein the terminal-modified styrene-butadiene rubber includes at least one group selected from a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, an aldehyde group, an epoxy group, and a hydroxyl group-containing polyorganosiloxane structural group.

2. The tire rubber composition according to claim 1 ,

further comprising from 1 to 20 parts by weight of an aromatic modified terpene resin with a softening point of 100° C. or more.

3. The tire rubber composition according to claim 2 , wherein the total oil component comprises aroma oil in an amount of from 1 to 4.7 parts by weight.

4. The tire rubber composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein

a 24M4DBP of the carbon black is from 95 to 110 ml/100 g, and

a ratio (N 2 SA/IA) of the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area (N 2 SA) to an iodine adsorption amount (IA) is from 0.95 to 1.05.

5. The tire rubber composition according to claim 2 ,

wherein

a 24M4DBP of the carbon black is from 95 to 110 ml/100 g, and

a ratio (N 2 SA/IA) of the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area (N 2 SA) to an iodine adsorption amount (IA) is from 0.95 to 1.05.

6. The tire rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon black is a Super Abrasion Furnace (SAF) carbon black.

7. The tire rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the total oil component comprises aroma oil in an amount of from 1 to 4.7 parts by weight.

8. The tire rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal-modified styrene-butadiene rubber includes at least one group selected from the carboxyl group, the aldehyde group, and the epoxy group.

9. The tire rubber composition according to claim 1 , comprising 40 parts by weight of the silica, 30 parts by weight of the carbon black with the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of 140 m 2 /g, and from 50 to 70 wt. % of a terminal-modified styrene-butadiene rubber, wherein the terminal-modified styrene-butadiene rubber includes a hydroxyl group at a molecular terminal.

10. A pneumatic tire comprising the tire rubber composition described in claim 1 .
