Abstract
Provided is a tire comprising a tread at least having two layers each comprising a rubber component and a plasticizer, wherein a difference (AE1−AE2) between an acetone extraction amount AE1 of the rubber composition of the first layer and an acetone extraction amount AE2 of the rubber composition of the second layer is greater than 6.0% by mass, and wherein, with the first layer and the second layer being attached together, when they are applied with a dynamic stimulus under a condition of a dynamic stress of 0.45 MPa, a frequency of 50 Hz, and a temperature at 80° C. for 120 hours, a rate of change in acetone extraction amount of the rubber composition of the first layer before and after being applied with the predetermined dynamic stimulus is −10% or more and 10% or less.
Claims12
A tire comprising a tread at least having a first layer constituting a tread surface and a second layer adjacent to an inner side of the first layer in a radial direction,
- wherein the first layer and the second layer are each composed of a rubber composition comprising a rubber component and a plasticizer,
- wherein a difference (AE1−AE2) between an acetone extraction amount AE1 of the rubber composition of the first layer and an acetone extraction amount AE2 of the rubber composition of the second layer is greater than 6.0% by mass,
- wherein, with the first layer and the second layer being attached together, when they are applied with a dynamic stimulus under a condition of a dynamic stress of 0.45 MPa, a frequency of 50 Hz, and a temperature at 80° C. for 120 hours, a rate of change in acetone extraction amount of the rubber composition of the first layer before and after being applied with the dynamic stimulus is −10% or more and 10% or less,
- wherein the rubber composition of the first rubber layer comprises natural rubber in an amount of 60% by mass or more based on 100% by mass of the rubber component in the rubber composition of the first rubber layer, and
- wherein an acetone extraction amount of the second layer before being applied with the dynamic stimulus is more than 10.0% by mass.
