Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tires, and in particular to a tread rubber profile with a dislocated rubber material structure, a preparation method and a tire using the tread rubber profile. Background Art
[0002] The ultra-high performance (UHP) tire market has grown steadily in recent years, with both volume and value continuing to grow. Ultra-high performance tires refer to tires that meet road regulations and have excellent performance on wet and dry roads, meeting the demands of ultra-high performance sports car owners for ultimate driving pleasure and safety performance. As consumer demands continue to change, manufacturers focus on developing their ultra-high performance tire ranges to meet consumer performance requirements and market trends.
[0003] The ultra-high performance of a tire depends largely on the following factors: tire structure, material compound, tread design, size and weight. The tread compound structure of traditional ultra-high performance tires is as follows: Figure 1 , mainly composed of four compounds, namely tread rubber, base rubber, shoulder rubber and conductive rubber. The outer and inner tread rubbers are the same rubber. The tread rubber is responsible for providing grip, control, comfort and durability. The base rubber uses low heat generation and high adhesion rubber, focusing on adhesion strength. The shoulder rubber is responsible for flexibility at the shoulder. The conductive rubber plays a role in releasing static electricity in the vehicle. The traditional single tread formula requires more fillers to meet the performance requirements. Filling with white carbon black is beneficial to improving the braking and handling performance of the tire on wet roads, and filling with carbon black is beneficial to improving the braking and handling performance of the tire on dry roads. However, with the increase of fillers, the heat generation of the rubber increases, and the rolling resistance of the tire also increases. It is difficult for tires to achieve a good balance between grip, wear resistance and low rolling resistance. To break this devil's triangle, the tread rubber needs to take into account the performance of grip, wear and rolling resistance.
