2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, spiked tires in which a large number of hard alloy studs are planted in a tread have been generally used for vehicles that often travel on icy and snowy roads. However, as the number of vehicles increases, spike tire studs pierce the road and dig up the surface, resulting in increased dust and road damage, which is becoming a social problem.Therefore, a special rubber composition is used for the tread rubber. However, there has been proposed a so-called studless tire that does not have a stud and can be used on a snowy road.

In recent years, in order to improve friction performance on ice and improve braking performance on ice, a composition in which leathery granular material and vegetable granular material are blended or a composition obtained by foaming the same into a foamed rubber has been developed. (For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-210342). However, if the leathery granular material and the vegetable granular material are blended, it becomes necessary to consider the abrasion resistance.
In particular, considering the wear performance on a road surface with high severity such as running on a dry road surface or a mountain road, it is necessary to increase the amount of the reinforcing agent such as carbon black, but if the amount of the reinforcing agent is increased,
There is a drawback in that the hardness of the tire is increased and the heat generation is improved, resulting in a reduction in braking performance on ice.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The inventors of the present invention have conducted earnest research to develop a tread rubber composition for studless tires having improved wear resistance performance without substantially reducing braking performance on ice. It came over again. As a result, they have found that the intended purpose of the present invention can be achieved when a specific styrene-butadiene rubber is used as the base rubber. The present invention has been completed based on such findings.

The base rubber used in the present invention has an Mw of 250,000 or more, an oil-extended Mooney of 27 to 43, and a Tg of -70.
It is a styrene-butadiene rubber obtained by solution polymerization at a temperature of not higher than ° C. If the weight average molecular weight Mw is extremely smaller than 250,000, the effect of improving wear resistance tends to decrease. In the present invention, it is preferable to use a styrene-butadiene rubber having an Mw of about 230,000 to 320,000. When the oil-extended Mooney is smaller than 27, the storability of the composition of the present invention tends to be lowered, while conversely, the oil-extended Mooney is 4
When it is larger than 3, the dispersibility of carbon black tends to be deteriorated, and thus both are not preferable. Further Tg
Is more than -70 ° C, the braking performance on ice is deteriorated, which is not preferable. In the present invention, it is preferable to use a styrene-butadiene rubber which satisfies the above requirements and is in the range of 1.80 ≦ Mw / Mn ≦ 2.20. If the Mw / Mn ratio is smaller than 1.80, the processability of the resulting composition with an open roll tends to be poor because the molecular weight distribution is narrow, and if it is larger than 2.20, the molecular weight distribution is wide, The dispersibility of carbon black deteriorates, and it tends to be difficult to improve wear resistance.
