In a first aspect, the present invention is directed to a rubber composition comprising 70 phr to 95 phr of styrene butadiene rubber comprising at least 5 phr of a first styrene butadiene rubber having a glass transition temperature within a range of −49° C. to −15° C. and at least 45 phr of a second styrene butadiene rubber having a glass transition temperature within a range of −50° C. to −89° C., wherein the rubber composition comprises more of the second styrene butadiene rubber than of the first styrene butadiene rubber. Moreover, the rubber composition comprises 5 phr to 30 phr of one or more of natural rubber and synthetic polyisoprene; 135 phr to 200 phr of silica; and at least 55 phr of at least one hydrocarbon resin comprising at least one terpene resin having a glass transition temperature of at least 30° C.

Rubber composition and a tire

The present disclosure relates to a rubber composition comprising at least rubber, and reinforcement materials, the reinforcement materials comprising silica particles and Kraft lignin nanoparticles, wherein the phr ratio between the silica particles and Kraft lignin nanoparticles is ranging between 3 and 20; wherein the Kraft lignin nanoparticles have an average diameter size ranging between 10 and 100 nm as determined by scanning electron microscopy; and wherein the Kraft lignin nanoparticles have a glass transition temperature of at least 150° C. as determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry.

Rubber composition with dual fillers reinforcement

In a first aspect, the present invention is directed to a rubber composition comprising 70 phr to 90 phr of styrene butadiene rubber, wherein said styrene butadiene rubber comprises a first styrene butadiene rubber having a glass transition temperature within a range of &#x2212;49&#xb0; C. to &#x2212;15&#xb0; C. and a second styrene butadiene rubber having a glass transition temperature within a range of &#x2212;50&#xb0; C. to &#x2212;89&#xb0; C. Furthermore, the rubber composition comprises from 10 phr to 30 phr of one or more of natural rubber and synthetic polyisoprene rubber, 100 phr to 200 phr of silica, and at least 25 phr of at least one terpene resin having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of at most 1000 g/mol. Moreover, the invention is directed to a tire comprising such a rubber composition, in particular in the tread of the tire.

The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire having a tread comprising a vulcanizable rubber composition comprising, based on 100 parts by weight of elastomer (phr),

Pneumatic tire

The invention is directed to a pneumatic tire comprising a vulcanizable rubber composition, the vulcanizable rubber composition comprising: from 75 to 85 phr of a styrene-butadiene rubber having a bound styrene content of from 30 to 50 percent by weight, a vinyl 1,2 content of from 10 to 30 percent by weight based on the rubber weight, and a Tg ranging from &#x2212;40 C to &#x2212;20 C; from 0 to 25 phr of natural rubber or synthetic polyisoprene; from 0 to 20 phr of cis-1,4 polybutadiene having a Tg of from &#x2212;110&#xb0; C. to &#x2212;90&#xb0; C.; from 100 to 150 phr of silica; from 20 to 40 phr of a combination resin comprising a polyterpene resin, an alkylphenol formaldehyde resin, and a rosin acid; from 30 to 60 phr of oil; and from 5 to 25 phr of a sulfur containing organosilicon compound.

This invention relates to a tire with tread for promoting a combination of wet traction and service at low temperatures of a rubber composition containing a styrene/butadiene elastomer, cis 1,4-polybutadiene rubber, liquid high Tg styrene/butadiene polymer, resin and vegetable triglyceride oil.

Tire with tread for combination of low temperature performance and for wet traction

This invention relates to a tire with tread for promoting a combination of winter service at low temperatures and for promoting wet traction. The tread is of a rubber composition containing low Tg styrene/butadiene elastomer and cis 1,4-polybutadiene rubber, along with high Tg liquid styrene/butadiene polymer, traction resin and vegetable triglyceride oil.

Tire with tread for low temperature performance and wet traction

A tread for a pneumatic tire in accordance with the present invention includes a tread base layer, a first tread cap layer radially outside of the tread base layer, a second tread cap layer radially outside of the tread base layer and both radially outside and axially adjacent the first tread cap layer, a third intermediate layer radially between the tread base layer and the first and second tread cap layers. The first tread cap layer has a protrusion extending radially inward and into the third intermediate layer more than a main body of the first tread cap layer and the second tread cap layer thereby allowing the first tread cap layer to provide the overall tread with enhanced performance characteristics after the main body of the first tread cap layer and the second tread cap layer have worn away.

Pneumatic tire with multi-tread cap

The invention is directed to a pneumatic tire having a tread comprising a vulcanizable rubber composition comprising, expressed as parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of elastomer (phr),

A pneumatic tire for use on trucks, the tire comprising: a tread, the tread having a non-skid depth (NSK), the tread including a first and second shoulder rib and two or more inner ribs, and circumferential grooves interposed between the ribs. The tread pattern is asymmetric, wherein the first shoulder rib has a rib width ratio in the range of about 1.2 to about 1.8, and the second shoulder rib has a rib width ratio in the range of about 1.0-1.6.
