Stud tire
A studded tire includes stud pins embedded in a road contact surface of a tread portion 1 ; the rubber composition forming the tread portion containing at least one of natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, and butadiene rubber, from 5 to 50 parts by weight of carbon black and from 5 to 70 parts by weight of silica per 100 parts by weight of the diene rubber; a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of the carbon black being from 50 to 120 m 2 /g; a CTAB specific surface area of the silica being from 80 to 190 m 2 /g; a rubber hardness of the rubber composition being not greater than 60; and a product of a stress at the time of 400% elongation and a bottom surface area of a flange portion on a bottom side of the stud pins being not less than 400 MPa·mm 2 and not greater than 850 MPa·mm 2 .
1. A studded tire having stud pins embedded in a road contact surface of a tread portion formed from only a rubber composition; the rubber composition comprising a diene rubber containing at least one rubber selected from natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, and butadiene rubber, from 5 to 50 parts by weight of carbon black and a compounded amount of silica of from 5 to 70 parts by weight of silica per 100 parts by weight of the diene rubber; a glass transition temperature of the diene rubber being not higher than −60° C.; a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of the carbon black being from 50 to 120 m 2 /g; a CTAB specific surface area of the silica being from 80 to 190 m 2 /g; a rubber hardness of the rubber composition being not greater than 60; and a product (S×A) of a stress S (MPa) of the rubber composition at the time of 400% elongation and a bottom surface area A (mm 2 ) of a flange portion on a bottom side of the stud pins being not less than 476 and not greater than 850, and
wherein a pull-out force required to pull out the stud pins from the tread portion rubber composition is not less than 170 N.
