Abstract

A pneumatic tire includes an innerliner and a tie rubber. A rubber composition for an innerliner constituting the innerliner includes from 25 to 75 parts by mass of a carbon black having a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area from 25 to 95 m 2 /g, from 1 to 13 parts by mass of a resin, and from 0.1 to 1.8 parts by mass of zinc oxide, per 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber containing from 50 to 100 parts by mass of halogenated butyl rubber, and the dynamic storage modulus at −45° C. of the rubber composition is not greater than 600 Mpa.

Claims (20)

1. A pneumatic tire comprising:

an innerliner; and

a tie rubber comprising a tie rubber composition, the tie rubber composition including a first diene rubber selected only from a natural rubber, an isoprene rubber, a a styrene-butadiene rubber, or mixtures of two or more rubbers selected from the natural rubber, the isoprene rubber and the styrene-butadiene rubber,

an innerliner rubber composition constituting the innerliner including

from 25 to 75 parts by mass of a carbon black having a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area from 25 to 95 m 2 /g,

a total resin content of the innerliner rubber composition of from 1 to 10 parts by mass, and

from 0.1 to 1.8 parts by mass of zinc oxide,

per 100 parts by mass of a second diene rubber containing from 50 to 100 parts by mass of halogenated butyl rubber, and

a dynamic storage modulus at −45° C. of the innerliner rubber composition is not greater than 600 Mpa.

2. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 ,

wherein the number of cycles to fracture in a constant strain fatigue test of the innerliner rubber composition at a strain ratio of 120% and a frequency of 6.67 Hz is not less than 800,000.

3. The pneumatic tire according to claim 2 ,

wherein a ratio HS T /HS IL of a rubber hardness HS T of the tie rubber composition to a rubber hardness HS IL of the innerliner rubber composition is not less than 1.1.

4. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 ,

wherein a ratio HS T /HS IL of a rubber hardness HS T of the tie rubber composition to a rubber hardness HS IL of the innerliner rubber composition is not less than 1.1.

5. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the innerliner rubber composition includes a total zinc oxide content of from 0.1 to 0.8 parts by mass.

6. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio HS T /HS IL of a rubber hardness HS T of the tie rubber composition to a rubber hardness HS IL of the innerliner rubber composition is from not less than 1.1 to not more than 1.13.

7. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the tie rubber composition comprises the isoprene rubber or the butadiene rubber.

8. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the tie rubber composition comprises the butadiene rubber.

9. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the innerliner rubber composition includes a total zinc oxide content of from 0.1 to 0.7 parts by mass.
