Abstract
The present invention is directed to a tire with in-situ generated built-in puncture sealant comprising a supporting tire carcass comprised of one or more layers of ply, an outer circumferential tread, and a radially inner layer, a pair of beads, sidewalls extending radially inward from the axial outer edges of the tread portion to join the respective beads, a sealant comprising the chain cessation product of a butyl ionomer-based rubber sealant precursor composition catalyzed by peroxide disposed inwardly from said radially inner layer, and wherein said sealant provides self-sealing properties to the tire.
