Tire tread composition comprising highly reinforcing reinforced amorphous precipitated silica

Cured tread rubber compositions of tires contain cured organic rubber, from 40 to 150 phr of reinforcing carbon black, and reinforcing reinforced amorphous precipitated silica wherein the silica has a surface area of from 160 to 340 m2/g and a pore diameter at the maximum of the volume pore size dis...

More Information
Summary:Cured tread rubber compositions of tires contain cured organic rubber, from 40 to 150 phr of reinforcing carbon black, and reinforcing reinforced amorphous precipitated silica wherein the silica has a surface area of from 160 to 340 m2/g and a pore diameter at the maximum of the volume pore size distribution function of from 5 to 19 nm. The presence of such reinforcing silica provides improved tire performance characteristics, especially improved paved highway performance, to tires having treads of the cured tread rubber compositions.
