AI Technical Summary
Existing rubber compositions for heavy-duty tires fail to simultaneously enhance abrasion resistance, chipping resistance, and reduce heat generation, while also meeting the demands of lower rolling resistance and stricter regulatory standards.
A rubber composition is formulated with specific amounts of isoprene-based rubber, carbon black, silica, and resin, achieving a tanδ curve that satisfies the conditions 2.0℃≦T1-T0≦7.0℃ and 0.55 ≤ P1 - P100 ≤ 0.90, with a silica-to-resin ratio of 1:9 to 9:1.
The composition improves abrasion resistance, maintains chipping resistance, and reduces heat generation, making it suitable for heavy-duty tires under demanding conditions.
