Abstract

A pneumatic tire includes a belt layer and a carcass layer. A rubber composition for belts, constituting the belt layer, contains, per 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber containing a natural rubber, from 0.3 to 1.5 parts by mass of cobalt borate neodecanoate and from 4.5 to 7.0 parts by mass of sulfur. The dynamic storage modulus at 20° C. of the rubber composition for belts is from 13 to 18 MPa, and a ratio of a 100% tensile stress of the rubber composition for belts to a 100% tensile stress of a rubber composition for carcasses, constituting the carcass layer is from 1.5 to 2.5.

Claims (6)

1. A pneumatic tire comprising a belt layer and a carcass layer, wherein

a rubber composition for belts constituting the belt layer contains: per 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber containing a natural rubber, from 0.3 to 1.5 parts by mass of cobalt borate neodecanoate and from 4.5 to 7.0 parts by mass of sulfur,

a dynamic storage modulus (E′) at 20° C. of the rubber composition for belts is from 13 to 18 MPa, and

a ratio (MB/MC) of a 100% tensile stress (MB) of the rubber composition for belts to a 100% tensile stress of a rubber composition for carcasses, constituting the carcass layer, (MC) is from 1.5 to 2.5,

wherein the rubber composition for carcasses contains SC parts by mass of sulfur per 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber, the rubber composition for belts contains SB parts by mass of the sulfur, and a ratio (SB/SC) of the compounded content of the sulfur of the rubber composition for belts (SB) to the compounded content of the sulfur of the rubber composition for carcasses (SC) is from 2.0 to 3.0.

2. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the rubber composition for belts contains, per 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber, 0.5 parts by mass or greater but less than 3.0 parts by mass of a phenol-based resin and from 0.5 to 5.0 parts by mass of a curing agent.
