摘要:
A pneumatic tire comprising an outer circumferential tread (18) having an outer tread layer (36) in direct and continuous contact with an inner tread layer (38) is disclosed. The outer and inner tread layers (36, 38) together defining the tread thickness (T). The inner tread layer (38) comprises a first elastomeric compound or a second elastomeric compound and the outer tread layer comprising the other of the first elastomeric compound or the second elastomeric compound. The second elastomeric compound has a lower rolling resistance and/or a greater resistance to treadwear than the first elastomeric compound. The inner tread layer (38) increases in thickness across at least a widthwise portion of the tread (18) with a maximum thickness of one of the inner tread layer (38) and the outer tread layer (36) occurring at or near at least one of a first shoulder (20) and a second shoulder (22) of the tread (18), whereby as the tread (18) wears, the inner tread layer (38) defines a greater proportion of a running surface of the tread (18).

The invention relates to a tire having a tread comprising a circumferential outer tread cap rubber layer (1) and a transition rubber layer (2) underlying the outer tread cap rubber layer (1); wherein the rubber composition of the transition rubber layer (2) comprises: (A) a blend of natural rubber, cis 1,4-polybutadiene rubber and styrene/butadiene copolymer rubber; (B) of from 0 phr up to 30 phr of a reinforcing filler comprising: (1) a rubber reinforcing carbon black, or (2) silica, or (3) a combination of rubber reinforcing carbon black and silica; and
wherein the transition rubber layer (2) contains a dispersion of 0.25 to 10 phr of fibrillated fiber aramid pulp.

The present invention relates to a pneumatic rubber tire having an integral innerliner of a sulfur cured rubber composition. The innerliner rubber composition comprises at least one elastomer selected from bromobutyl rubber and chlorobutyl rubber which also contains a dispersion therein of ethylene vinyl alcohol polymer.
摘要:
A tire (10) comprising a tread portion (14) and a pair of sidewalls (16) is provided wherein the sidewalls are connected to the tread portion by shoulder regions, and wherein the tire further includes one or more strips (38) affixed to the inner surface of a green tire. The strip may be annular and may be located near the toe (36) of the bead (26).

摘要:
This invention relates to preparation of silica-containing EPDM based rubber compositions and their use as components of articles of manufacture such as, for example, tires and industrial products. Such preparation relies upon phase mixing of EPDM based rubber compositions which contain particulate reinforcement, such as for example precipitated silica, which may optionally include exfoliated clay reinforcement, to create an enhanced EPDM rubber composition. In one aspect, the invention relates to a pneumatic rubber tire with a visible outer sidewall rubber layer comprising such rubber composition.
