Abstract
The invention relates to a tyre tread having a tyre tread rubber composition based on at least one diene elastomer, one reinforcing filler and one vulcanization system, characterized in that the composition comprises a guar gum powder in a proportion of 10 to 40 pce. The invention also relates to a process for obtaining a rubber composition for a tread based on at least one diene elastomer, one reinforcing filler and one vulcanization system which comprises a first phase of thermomechanical kneading of the constituents of the composition, with the exception of the vulcanization system, characterized in that the composition comprises a guar gum powder in a proportion of 10 to 40 pce and in that the guar gum powder is incorporated during the first kneading phase.
