Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 72 words
A tire having an outer layer in a sidewall comprising a nonstaining elastomeric composition which prior to vulcanization comprises by weight 25 to 90 parts diene rubber, 10 to 75 parts of EPDM that has been modified to increase its crosslinkability to diene rubbers, 0.5 to 10 phr of either a grafted or copolymerized antidegradant and a vulcanizing amount of a sulfur cure package, said composition being substantially free of staining antidegradants.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 72 words
A tire having an outer layer in a sidewall comprising a nonstaining elastomeric composition which prior to vulcanization comprises by weight 25 to 90 parts diene rubber, 10 to 75 parts of EPDM that has been modified to increase its crosslinkability to diene rubbers, 0.5 to 10 phr of either a grafted or copolymerized antidegradant and a vulcanizing amount of a sulfur cure package, said composition being substantially free of staining antidegradants.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 28 words
A tire according to claim 1 wherein said polymeric antidegradant consists essentially of segmeric units, a portion of said units consisting of amide segmeric units derived from N-(4-anilinophenyl)methacrylate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 14 words
A tire according to claim 1 wherein said EPDM is a chlorothio-sulfonamide-modified rubber terpolymer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 14 words
A tire according to claim 2 wherein said EPDM is a chlorothio-sulfonamide-modified rubber terpolymer.
