RUBBER COMPOSITION FOR STUDLESS TIRE AND STUDLESS TIRE

摘要

The present invention provides a rubber composition for a studless tire and a high-performance studless tire produced therefrom, which achieve good braking force and handling stability on ice and snow. The rubber composition for a studless tire includes: a rubber component; a zinc salt of a C4-C12 aliphatic carboxylic acid, or a C4-C12 aliphatic carboxylic acid and zinc oxide; and an oil or a plasticizer. The rubber component contains 40% by mass or more of butadiene rubber per 100% by mass of the rubber component.
