Abstract
Abstract A rubber composition for use in tires is disclosed, which comprises 1-30% by weight of a non-crystallizable resinous polymer having Tg of not less than 110° C. and 70-99% by weight of at least one rubber selected from styrene-butadiene copolymer rubber containing not more than 60% by weight of bound styrene, natural rubber, polybutadiene rubber having 1,4-configuration of not less than 80%, polybutadiene rubber having 1,2-configuration of not less than 50%, butyl rubber, halogenated butyl rubber and polyisoprene rubber having cis-1,4-configuration of not less than 90%.
