  • Publication number: 20260250490
    Abstract: A rubber composition having improved tear strength is based on 20 to 50 phr of copolymer containing ethylene units and 1,3-diene units, the ethylene units in the copolymer representing between 50 mol % and 95 mol % of the monomer units of the copolymer; 50 to 80 phr of polyisoprene comprising a mass content of 1,4-cis bonds of at least 90% of the mass of the polyisoprene; a filler comprising from 11 to 56 phr of carbon black and from 4 to 24 phr of silica, the weight of silica being less than or equal to 30% by weight relative to the total weight of carbon black and silica; and a vulcanization system. Rubber articles comprise such a rubber composition, in particular pneumatic tires, at least one sidewall of which comprises such a rubber composition.
