Abstract
The present invention relates to a tyre, for winter, all-seasons or summer applications, characterized by a reduced wear and improved grip. Said tyre comprises a tyre component comprising a cross-linked elastomeric compound obtained from a cross-linkable elastomeric composition comprising a particular conjugated diene polymer (I).

1-19. (canceled)
A vehicle wheel tyre comprising at least a tyre component comprising a cross-linked elastomeric compound comprising, before cross-linking, a cross-linkable elastomeric composition,
- wherein the cross-linkable elastomeric composition comprises at least a conjugated diene polymer (I) comprising bound aromatic vinyl units and bound conjugated diene units, the conjugated diene polymer (I) comprising at least a first polymer segment and at least a second polymer segment, wherein the conjugated diene polymer (I) has only one DSC glass transition temperature (Tg DSC), measured according to ISO 22768:2006 at a heating rate of 10° C./min, and wherein:
- i) the conjugated diene polymer (I) has a calculated glass transition temperature (Tg CALC) ranging from −75.0° C. to −30.0° C., and the difference between an extrapolated Tg end temperature (Tg DSC end) and an extrapolated Tg onset temperature (Tg DSC onset) of the Tg DSC curve of the conjugated diene polymer (I), measured according to ISO 22768:2006 at a heating rate of 10° C./min, is at least 12.0° C. and at most 35.0° C.,
- ii) a calculated glass transition temperature of the first polymer segment (Tg CALC1) is lower than a calculated glass transition temperature of the second polymer segment (Tg CALC2), or
- iii) both (i) and (iii),
- the calculated glass transition temperatures are determined according to the Gordon-Taylor equation.
