Abstract
Abstract Rubber compositions for tires having low rolling resistance and excellent running stability consist mainly of a rubber blend consisting of 10-90% by weight of a high vinyl amorphous butadiene-styrene copolymeric rubber obtained by copolymerizing styrene with 1,3-butadiene and containing 3-30% by weight of bonded styrene and not less than 60% by weight of 1,2-bond in butadiene unit, and 90-10% by weight of a dienic rubber having a glass transition temperature of lower than -60° C.
