Tire treads and tires having such tire treads are included, such treads manufactured with a rubber composition that includes mostly, if not entirely, a polybutadiene rubber having cis-1,4 bond content of at least 95%. The rubber composition further includes between 60 phr and 95 phr of a plasticizing resin having a Tg of at least 25° C. and between 0 phr and 15 phr of a liquid plasticizer. Additionally the rubber composition is reinforced with at least 90 phr of a silica reinforcing filler. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the rubber composition may be reinforced with an organic filler, an inorganic filler or combinations thereof. In some of these embodiments, the rubber composition includes at least 90 phr of such reinforcing filler.
摘要:
A tread for a tire, the tread comprising a rubber composition that is based upon a cross-linkable elastomer composition, the cross-linkable elastomer composition comprising, per hundred parts by weight of rubber (phr), a high-Tg rubber being a highly unsaturated diene elastomer having a glass transition temperature of between −30° C. and 0° C., a low-Tg rubber being a highly unsaturated diene elastomer having a glass transition temperature of between −110° C. and −60° C. The high-Tg and the low-Tg elastomers are incompatible and this provides, among other advantages, improved snow traction of the tread when compared to tire treads having lower Tg.

A tire has a material diffusion barrier, and a method produces the same. In an embodiment, a method for producing a material diffusion barrier on a tire comprises exposing a surface of the tire to a cationic solution to produce a cationic layer on the surface. The method further comprises exposing the cationic layer to an anionic solution to produce an anionic layer on the cationic layer, wherein a layer comprises the cationic layer and the anionic layer. The layer comprises the material diffusion barrier.
