Abstract
Abstract A rubber composition having an excellent wear resistance while holding proper hardness, modulus and the like as a vulcanizate comprises a blend of (A) styrene-diene copolymer rubber having specified content of bound styrene, glass transition temperature range and Mooney viscosity and (B) low molecular weight polymer having particular weight average molecular weight, wherein the blending ratio of the copolymer rubber (A) to the polymer (B) is 100 parts by weight to 10-120 parts by weight.
