Abstract

A tire rubber composition is produced by compounding from 1 to 50 parts by mass of silica, carbon black in an amount not less than the amount of silica, and from 10 to 30 parts by mass of a hydrocarbon resin having a softening point from 100 to 140° C. with 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber containing not less than 5 mass % and less than 30 mass % of a styrene-butadiene rubber, wherein the styrene-butadiene rubber has a styrene content from 30 to 40 mass %, a glass transition temperature from −20 to −5° C., and a weight average molecular weight from 1000000 to 1800000; a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of the carbon black is from 200 to 400 m 2 /g; and a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of the carbon black is greater than a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of the silica.

Claims (16)

1. A tire rubber composition produced by compounding from 1 to 50 parts by mass of silica, carbon black in an amount not less than the amount of the silica, and from 10 to 30 parts by mass of a hydrocarbon resin having a softening point from 100 to 140° C. with 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber containing not less than 5 mass % and less than 30 mass % of a styrene-butadiene rubber; the styrene-butadiene rubber having a styrene content from 30 to 40 mass %, a glass transition temperature from −20 to −5° C., and a weight average molecular weight from 1,000,000 to 1,800,000; a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of the carbon black being from 200 to 400 m 2 /g; and a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of the carbon black being greater than a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of the silica.

2. The tire rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the styrene-butadiene rubber is a solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber, and the tire rubber composition further contains from 70 to 95 mass % of an emulsion-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber per 100 mass % of the diene rubber.

3. The tire rubber composition according to claim 2 , wherein the hydrocarbon resin is an aromatic modified terpene resin, and a softening point of the aromatic modified terpene resin is from 105 to 130° C.

4. The tire rubber composition according to claim 2 , wherein a thiuram-based vulcanization accelerator is further compounded in an amount from 0.5 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber.

5. The tire rubber composition according to claim 2 , wherein the tire rubber composition forms a tread of a pneumatic tire.

6. The tire rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrocarbon resin is an aromatic modified terpene resin, and a softening point of the aromatic modified terpene resin is from 105 to 130° C.

7. The tire rubber composition according to claim 6 , wherein a thiuram-based vulcanization accelerator is further compounded in an amount from 0.5 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber.

8. The tire rubber composition according to claim 6 , wherein the tire rubber composition forms a tread of a pneumatic tire.

9. The tire rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein a thiuram-based vulcanization accelerator is further compounded in an amount from 0.5 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber.

10. The tire rubber composition according to claim 9 , wherein the tire rubber composition forms a tread of a pneumatic tire.

11. The tire rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the tire rubber composition forms a tread of a pneumatic tire.

12. A pneumatic tire comprising the tire rubber composition according to claim 1 .

13. A pneumatic tire comprising the tire rubber composition according to claim 2 .

14. A pneumatic tire comprising the tire rubber composition according to claim 6 .

15. A pneumatic tire comprising the tire rubber composition according to claim 9 .

16. A pneumatic tire comprising the tire rubber composition according to claim 11 .
