Abstract
Abstract A rubber composition having improved wet skid resistance and rolling resistance is disclosed, which comprises (A) 10-90% by weight of polybutadiene rubber having a content of cis-1,4-bond at least 80% and an average chain length of cis-1,4-bond of not less than 110, and (B) 10-90% by weight of random styrene-butadiene copolymer rubber obtained by copolymerization in the presence of an organic metal catalyst and having a content of bound styrene of not more than 40% by weight and a content of 1,2-bond in total butadiene unit of 30-95%.
