Abstract

A pneumatic tire having dry grip performance, wet grip performance, low rolling resistance, and performance on snow, formed by: molding a rubber composition for a tire, the rubber composition containing: from 70 to 150 parts by mass of silica per 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber formed from two types of modified styrene butadiene rubbers and a butadiene rubber, and oil, and from 5 to 15 mass % of 3-octanoylthio-1-propyltriethoxysilane with respect to a mass of the silica, the diene rubber containing 75 mass % or greater and less than 100 mass % total of the two types of modified styrene butadiene rubbers and greater than 0 mass % and 25 mass % or less of the butadiene rubber, a total amount of oil component containing the oil being from 25 to 45 mass % of a total mass of filler containing the silica, and a glass transition temperature being −50° C. or lower.

Claims (13)

1. A pneumatic tire formed by molding a rubber composition for a tire,

the rubber composition containing:

from 70 to 150 parts by mass of silica per 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber formed from two types of modified styrene-butadiene rubbers and a butadiene rubber, and an oil, and

from 5 to 15 mass % of 3-octanoylthio-1-propyltriethoxysilane with respect to a mass of the silica,

the diene rubber containing 75 mass % or greater and less than 100 mass % total of the two types of modified styrene-butadiene rubbers and greater than 0 mass % and 25 mass % or less of the butadiene rubber,

a total amount of oil component containing the oil being from 25 to 45 mass % of a total mass of filler containing the silica, and

a glass transition temperature being −50° C. or lower, wherein

both weight average molecular weights of the two types of modified styrene-butadiene rubbers are 400000 or greater, and a difference between glass transition temperatures of the two types of modified styrene-butadiene rubbers is 20° C. or higher.

2. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the two types of modified styrene-butadiene rubbers contains a hydroxy group.

3. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein, as the silica, silica having a CTAB adsorption specific surface area of 140 m 2 /g or greater and less than 180 m 2 /g and silica having a CTAB adsorption specific surface area of from 180 m 2 /g to 250 m 2 /g are blended.

4. A pneumatic tire for all seasons, the pneumatic tire being a pneumatic tire according to claim 1 and comprising a tread portion formed by molding the rubber composition for a tire.

5. The pneumatic tire according to claim 2 , wherein, as the silica, silica having a CTAB adsorption specific surface area of 140 m 2 /g or greater and less than 180 m 2 /g and silica having a CTAB adsorption specific surface area of from 180 m 2 /g to 250 m 2 /g are blended.

6. A pneumatic tire for all seasons, the pneumatic tire being a pneumatic tire according to claim 5 and comprising a tread portion formed by molding the rubber composition for a tire.
