  • Patent number: 10207540
    Abstract: A tire tread formed at least in part from a rubber composition that is based upon a cross-linkable rubber composition that may include between 50 phr and 90 phr of a first highly unsaturated elastomer being middle chain functionalized with an aminoalkoxysilane group and having a Tg of between ?108° C. and ?45° C. and between 10 phr and 50 phr of a second highly unsaturated elastomer being end-chain functionalized with a silanol group and having a Tg of between ?108° C. and ?10° C. The rubber composition may further include between 50 phr and 150 phr of a silica filler and a plasticizing system comprising between 5 phr and 120 phr of a plasticizing resin having a Tg of at least 25° C. and between 0 phr and 60 phr of a plasticizing liquid.

  • Publication number: 20150343843
    Abstract: A tread for a tire, the tread comprising a rubber composition that is based upon a cross-linkable elastomer composition, the cross-linkable elastomer composition comprising, per hundred parts by weight of rubber (phr), a high-Tg rubber being a highly unsaturated diene elastomer having a glass transition temperature of between ?30° C. and 0° C., a low-Tg rubber being a highly unsaturated diene elastomer having a glass transition temperature of between ?110° C. and ?60° C. The high-Tg and the low-Tg elastomers are incompatible and this provides, among other advantages, improved snow traction of the tread when compared to tire treads having lower Tg.
