The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire comprising a carcass and an innerliner in direct contact with the carcass, the innerliner comprising a rubber composition comprising:

Tire with innerliner containing talc and epichlorohydrin rubber

The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire having at least one component including a sulfur vulcanizable rubber composition, the rubber composition including at least one diene based rubber and at least one zinc naphthalocyanine compound.

Pneumatic tire containing zinc naphthalocyanine compound

The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire having at least one component including a sulfur vulcanizable rubber composition, the rubber composition including at least one diene based rubber and at least one zinc porphyrin compound.

Pneumatic tire containing zinc porphyrin compound

The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire including at least one component, the at least component including a rubber composition, the rubber composition including 100 parts by weight of a diene based elastomer and from 1 to 20 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of elastomer (phr), of a solvent-extracted asphaltene.

Tire with component containing asphaltene

The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire having a rubber component including (A) 100 parts by weight (phr) of a rubber containing olefinic unsaturation; (B) from 50 to 100 phr of silica; (C) from 1 to 40 phr of a polyoctenamer.

Pneumatic tire

The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire comprising at least one component, the at least component comprising a rubber composition, the rubber composition comprising a diene based elastomer and an oxirane resin of formula I wherein R is a hydrocarbyl group and nthrough neach represent 0 or an integer of from 1 to 100 and the sum of the integers represented by nthrough nis from 1 to 100.

Tire with component having oxirane resin

A pneumatic tire with a double layer innerliner structure bonded to an inner face of the tire carcass for reducing noise generated by air vibrations inside of the tire's air chamber, and a method of making the tire. The double layer structure includes a first innerliner layer of non-foamed rubber adjacent the carcass and a second innerliner layer of foamed porous rubber forming an innermost surface of the tire. The foamed porous rubber is formed by curing a rubber composition having a nitrogen-releasing foaming agent dispersed therein that decomposes at the vulcanization temperature to release nitrogen gas. The second innerliner layer further has an open-celled structure with a plurality of open cavities that are formed by physically altering the innermost surface of the foamed innerliner layer.

Tire with double layer innerliner

A tire with a changing tread pattern is formed by first forming a tire having a tread, the tread having at least one circumferential or lateral groove. Formed separately is a wearable filler, the wearable filler having a configuration corresponding to at least a portion of the circumferential or lateral groove formed in the tire. After both the tire and the wearable filler have been cured, the wearable filler is located in the radially outer portion of the circumferential or lateral groove or a portion of the circumferential or lateral groove, and secured within the grooves so as to create a groove void radially inward of the wearable filler, the void being exposed upon wear of the tire tread.

Method for forming a pneumatic tire

There is disclosed a pneumatic tire having a rubberized component comprising:

Pneumatic tire having a rubber component containing a dendrimer

The present invention relates to titanium and zirconium compounds of the formulae(R&#x2014;O&#xe00d;X&#xe00c;O&#x2014;R&#x2014;W)&#x2003;&#x2003;Iwherein each Ris independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl radicals having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms; Ris a divalent radical selected from the group consisting of alkylenes having 1 to 15 carbon atoms, arylene and alkyl substituted arylene groups having 6 to 10 carbon atoms; W is an epoxy group; and y is an integer of from 1 to 3, z is an integer of from 1 to 3 and the sum of y and z equals 4; and X is titanium or zirconium.
