Abstract
A pneumatic tire includes bead cores, a carcass ply, an inner liner and the tread, and the crosslinked rubber composition, of the present invention, wherein the tread and the crosslinked rubber composition have a volume of the low density region of 35% or more at elongation by an applied stress of 1.5 MPa, a volume of the void portion of 7.5 or less at elongation by an applied stress of 3.0 MPa and a ratio of 40% by mass or more of a component having a weight-average molecular weight of not less than 1,000,000 in a molecular weight distribution measured by gel permeation chromatography are excellent in abrasion resistance.
Claims32
A pneumatic tire comprising:
- bead cores provided on a pair of right and left bead portions, respectively;
- a carcass ply extending from a crown portion to the both bead portions through both side wall portions and moored to the bead cores;
- an inner liner disposed at an inner side than the carcass ply in a direction of a tire diameter;
- and
- a tread disposed at an outer side than the carcass ply in a direction of a tire diameter and having a volume of the low density region of 35% or more at elongation by an applied stress of 1.5 MPa, a volume of the void portion of 7.5% or less at elongation by an applied stress of 3.0 MPa and a ratio of 40% by mass or more of a component having a weight-average molecular weight of not less than 1,000,000 in a molecular weight distribution measured by gel permeation chromatography,
- wherein the low density region is a region having a density of 0.1 to 0.8 time the density of a crosslinked rubber composition before the elongation, and
- wherein the void portion is a region having a density of 0 to 0.1 time the density of a crosslinked rubber composition before the elongation,
- wherein the crosslinked rubber composition comprises a rubber component comprising two kinds of styrene-butadiene rubber, and butadiene rubber.
A crosslinked rubber composition having a volume of the low density region of 35% or more at elongation by an applied stress of 1.5 MPa, a volume of the void portion of 7.5% or less at elongation by an applied stress of 3.0 MPa and a ratio of 40% by mass or more of a component having a weight-average molecular weight of not less than 1,000,000 in a molecular weight distribution measured by gel permeation chromatography,
- wherein the crosslinked rubber composition comprises a rubber component comprising two kinds of styrene-butadiene rubber, and butadiene rubber,
- wherein the low density region is a region having a density of 0.1 to 0.8 time the density of a crosslinked rubber composition before the elongation, and
- wherein the void portion is a region having a density of 0 to 0.1 time the density of a crosslinked rubber composition before the elongation.
