  • Patent number: 10377883
    Abstract: The present invention provides a rubber composition for a tire having improved workability and abrasion resistance. A rubber composition for a tire according to the present invention comprises: a polybutadiene which has: (A) a Mooney viscosity (ML1+4,100° C.) being 43 or more; (B) a ratio (Tcp/ML1+4,100° C.) of 5 wt % toluene solution viscosity (Tcp) to Mooney viscosity (ML1+4,100° C.) being 0.9 to 2.3; (C) a stress relaxation time (T80) being 10.0 to 40.0 seconds, which is a time until a torque is attenuated by 80% when the torque at the end of ML1+4,100° C. measurement is 100%; and (D) a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) being 2.50 to 4.00; another rubber (ii); and a rubber reinforcing material (iii).
    Type: Grant
