Patent attributes
The present invention provides a rubber composition, in which abrasion resistance and gripping performance are improved in a balanced manner and bleeding of the components is inhibited, and a tire using the composition. Specifically, the present invention provides a rubber composition comprising (B) 10 to 200 parts by weight of a low molecular weight aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer having weight average molecular weight of 1.0×103 to 1.0×105 and aromatic vinyl content of 10 to 75% by weight, wherein the hydrogenation ratio of double bonds in the conjugated diene part is 20 to 60%, based on (A) 100 parts by weight of a rubber component containing at least 60% by weight of a styrene-butadiene copolymer having weight average molecular weight of 5.0×105 to 2.5×106 and styrene content of 20 to 60% by weight, wherein the amount of vinyl bonds in the butadiene part is 20 to 70%; which satisfies the following equation5% by weight<Bv<(As+10% by weight)when As (% by weight) is the styrene content of copolymer (A) and Bv (% by weight) is the aromatic vinyl content in the butadiene part of copolymer (B), and a tire using the same.
