Abstract

Abstract A pneumatic tire having an improved chipping resistant property is disclosed. In the tire, the tread portion is formed with a vulcanizate of a rubber composition comprising 3-40 parts by weight of short fibers of syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene, 30-100 parts by weight of carbon black and 0.2-5 parts by weight of a p-phenylenediamine type antioxidant, on a basis of 100 parts by weight of a rubber selected from natural rubber, synthetic rubber and a blend thereof in an optional blending ratio.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 106 words
A pneumatic tire having an improved chipping resistant property, comprising a tread portion formed from a vulcanizate of a rubber composition comprising; (a) 3-40 parts by weight of preformed short fibers of syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene having a maximum diameter of not more than 10μ and an average diameter of less than 1μ, (b) 30-100 parts by weight of carbon black having an iodine adsorption value of not less than 76 mg/g and (c) 0.2-5 parts by weight of a p-phenylenediamine type antioxidant, on a basis of 100 parts by weight of (d) a rubber selected from natural rubbers, synthetic rubbers and blends thereof in an optional blending ratio.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 106 words
A pneumatic tire having an improved chipping resistant property, comprising a tread portion formed from a vulcanizate of a rubber composition comprising; (a) 3-40 parts by weight of preformed short fibers of syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene having a maximum diameter of not more than 10μ and an average diameter of less than 1μ, (b) 30-100 parts by weight of carbon black having an iodine adsorption value of not less than 76 mg/g and (c) 0.2-5 parts by weight of a p-phenylenediamine type antioxidant, on a basis of 100 parts by weight of (d) a rubber selected from natural rubbers, synthetic rubbers and blends thereof in an optional blending ratio.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
A pneumatic tire as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said short fibers of syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene has a 1,2-structure unit content of not less than 80%.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 26 words
A pneumatic tire as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said short fibers of syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene has a melting point of not less than 190° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 22 words
A pneumatic tire as claimed in claim 1, wherein the amount of said short fibers of syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene is 5-20 parts by weight.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 27 words
A pneumatic tire as claimed in claim 1, wherein said p-phenylenediamine type antioxidant is selected from the group consisting of N-phenyl-N'-isopropyl-p-phenylenediamine, N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine, N-phenyl-N'-(2,4-dimethyl)butyl-p-phenylenediamine, N,N'-di-2-naphthyl-p-phenylenediamine and mixtures thereof.
