JP5827570B2 - Sidewall rubber composition and pneumatic tire - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a rubber composition for a sidewall and a pneumatic tire produced using the rubber composition.

Conventionally, rolling resistance of tires has been reduced (improvement of rolling resistance performance), and vehicle fuel efficiency has been reduced. In recent years, there has been a strong demand for lower fuel consumption, and among tire members, it is required to use a rubber composition having a low heat build-up that is excellent in a sidewall portion having a high occupation ratio in a tire.

As a technique for improving fuel efficiency in the tire sidewall, it is effective to reduce the amount of reinforcing agent such as carbon black mixed with the sidewall or to use carbon black having a large particle diameter. However, at the same time, the physical properties representing hardness such as hardness and modulus of rubber blending are often lowered, and when mounted on an actual vehicle, resistance (cut resistance) due to trauma is lowered. Therefore, a method for improving the fuel efficiency and cut resistance in a well-balanced manner is required.

In Patent Document 1, for the purpose of improving fuel efficiency, in a compound containing silica, a specific polar group is added to rubber so as to have an affinity for silica, thereby improving dispersibility of silica and reducing fuel efficiency. Although a method for obtaining a rubber composition having excellent properties has been described, there is still room for improvement in terms of improving the fuel economy and cut resistance in a well-balanced manner.
