Abstract
Large tires, the tread of which has a mean volumetric void ratio over the entire tread of greater than 10%, comprise a composition based on at least one diene elastomer, on a vulcanization system and from 0.10 to 1 phr of at least one organic polysulfide.
Claims20
A tire provided with a tread, of which a mean volumetric void ratio over the entire tread is greater than 10%, the tire comprising a composition based on at least one diene elastomer, on a vulcanization system, and from 0.10 to 1 phr of at least one organic polysulfide,
- wherein the at least one organic polysulfide is an aromatic polysulfide corresponding to general formula (I):
- in which:
- R3 to R11, which may be identical or different, represent a hydrogen atom, an —OH or —O−M+ radical, or a saturated or unsaturated carbon-based chain containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or a group —OR12, with R12 being an alkyl, arylalkyl, acyl, carboalkoxy, alkyl ether, silyl, or alkylsilyl radical, comprising from 1 to 20 carbon atoms,
- M represents an alkali or alkaline-earth metal,
- n and n′, which may be identical or different, each represent an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 8,
- p is an integer from 0 to 50, and
- A is a nitrogen atom, a single bond, or a saturated or unsaturated carbon-based chain of 1 to 20 carbon atoms.
