Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A passenger car tire with a tire tread made of a rubber composition which is composed of an isoprene rubber and a styrene-butadiene rubber in a ratio of 5/95 to 60/40 (by weight) and 50 to 200 parts by weight of carbon black having an iodine adsorption value (IA) of 100 mg/g or above, said isoprene rubber containing more than 50% in total of 3,4-vinyl bond and 1,2-vinyl bond, and said styrene-butadiene rubber having a glass transition temperature lower by 10° C. or more than that of said isoprene rubber, said tire tread rubber composition having a two-peak tanδ characterized in that the temperature distribution curve for loss tangent (tanδ) has two peaks in the range from -120° C. to +100° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A passenger car tire with a tire tread made of a rubber composition which is composed of an isoprene rubber and a styrene-butadiene rubber in a ratio of 5/95 to 60/40 (by weight) and 50 to 200 parts by weight of carbon black having an iodine adsorption value (IA) of 100 mg/g or above, said isoprene rubber containing more than 50% in total of 3,4-vinyl bond and 1,2-vinyl bond, and said styrene-butadiene rubber having a glass transition temperature lower by 10° C. or more than that of said isoprene rubber, said tire tread rubber composition having a two-peak tanδ characterized in that the temperature distribution curve for loss tangent (tanδ) has two peaks in the range from -120° C. to +100° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
99 words
A passenger car tire with a tread made of a rubber composition which is composed of a styrene-isoprene rubber and a styrene-butadiene rubber, natural rubber, or isoprene rubber in a ratio of 5/95 to 60/40 (by weight) and 50 to 200 parts by weight of carbon black having an iodine adsorption value (IA) of 100 mg/g or above, said styrene-isoprene rubber containing 5 to 50% of sytrene, said tire tread rubber composition having a two-peak δ characterized in that the temperature distribution curve for loss tangent (tanδ) has two peaks in the range from -120° C. to +100° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
99 words
A passenger car tire with a tread made of a rubber composition which is composed of a styrene-isoprene rubber and a styrene-butadiene rubber, natural rubber, or isoprene rubber in a ratio of 5/95 to 60/40 (by weight) and 50 to 200 parts by weight of carbon black having an iodine adsorption value (IA) of 100 mg/g or above, said styrene-isoprene rubber containing 5 to 50% of sytrene, said tire tread rubber composition having a two-peak δ characterized in that the temperature distribution curve for loss tangent (tanδ) has two peaks in the range from -120° C. to +100° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
122 words
