Abstract
A rubber composition for a tire tread contains styrene-butadiene rubber in a compounding amount of 100 parts by weight, silica in a compounding amount of 90 to 170 parts by weight, and an aromatic modified terpene resin in a compounding amount of 10 to 30 parts by weight. The styrene-butadiene rubber contains 40 to 100% by weight of solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber (S-SBR1) and 60 to 0% by weight of solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber (S-SBR2), the total content thereof being 100% by weight. The S-SBR1 has a styrene content of 30 to 38% by weight and a vinyl content of 60 to 80% by weight, the total content thereof being 100% by weight, a glass transition temperature of −20 to −5° C., and a weight average molecular weight of 1,000,000 to 1,800,000.
