Pneumatic tire
A pneumatic tire comprises a tread rubber with a groove depth at a shoulder portion that comes into contact with a road surface of 10 mm or greater. A rubber composition of the tread rubber contains: 60 to 70 parts by mass of carbon black having a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of 70 to 130 m 2 /g, 0.5 parts or greater by mass of sulfur, and a vulcanization accelerator per 100 parts by mass of diene rubber including 50 to 70 mass % of styrene-butadiene rubber, 20 to 30 mass % of butadiene rubber, and 10 to 30 mass % of natural rubber. The diene rubber has an average glass transition temperature of −65° C. or lower. A ratio of a compounded amount of the vulcanization accelerator to a compounded amount of the sulfur is 1.0 to 1.3. The tread rubber has a rubber hardness of 65 to 70 at 20° C.
1. A pneumatic tire, comprising:
a tread rubber with a groove depth at a shoulder portion that comes into contact with a road surface of 10 mm or greater; wherein
a rubber composition of the tread rubber contains:
60 to 70 parts by mass of carbon black having a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of 95 to 130 m 2 /g, 1.5 to 3.0 parts by mass of sulfur, from greater than 0 parts by mass to 30 parts by mass or less of oil, and a vulcanization accelerator per 100 parts by mass of diene rubber including 50 to 70 mass % of styrene-butadiene rubber, 20 to 30 mass % of butadiene rubber, and 10 to 30 mass % of natural rubber;
the diene rubber has an average glass transition temperature of −65° C. or lower;
a ratio Ma/Ms of a compounded amount Ma parts by mass of the vulcanization accelerator to a compounded amount Ms parts by mass of the sulfur is 1.1 to 1.3, the compounded amount Ma of the vulcanization accelerator being a total vulcanization accelerator content in the rubber composition;
the rubber composition of the tread rubber is formed without silica; and
the tread rubber has a rubber hardness of 65 to 70 at 20° C.
2. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein 1.0 to 3.0 parts by mass of the sulfur is compounded per 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber.
