Pneumatic tire of low profile having a tie rubber between the tread and sidewall

摘要

A pneumatic tire of a low profile is disclosed which is constructed with a a cap tread, a sidewall and a tie rubber interposed therebetween. The cap tread is formed from a rubber composition comprised of a styrene-butadiene rubber of a high styrene content. The tie rubber comprises a specified sum of a syndiotatic-1,2-butadiene rubber and a cis-1,4-butadiene rubber. Use of the tie rubber is conductive to sufficient adhesion of the tread to the sidewall without shoulder blistering after vulcanization.
