A heavy vehicle tire tread formed from a material that is based upon a cross-linkable rubber composition, the cross-linkable rubber composition comprising, per 100 parts by weight of rubber, between 35 and 60 phr of a solution polymerized styrenc-butadiene rubber having a styrene content of between 10 wl. % and 35 wt. %, between 35 and 60 phr of a polybutadiene, and between 45 and 110 phr of silica. Also included is between 1 and 8 phr of an amide processing aid, the processing aid comprising one or more amides of the form (Formula I); wherein R is an aliphatic chain of between 14 and 20 carbons, R′is selected from H or an aliphatic chain of between 1 and 4 carbons and R″is selected from an aliphatic chain of between 1 and 4 carbons having an—OH moiety. |
