Abstract
An elastomeric composition is disclosed. The elastomeric composition includes, per 100 parts by weight of rubber (phr): about 70 to about 90 phr of polybutadiene having a cis-1,4 linkage content of at least 95%; about 5 to 20 phr of a processing oil; about 5 to about 20 of sunflower oil; about 50 to about 75 phr of a filler; a curative agent; an antioxidant; and about 5 to about 30 phr of a propylene-ethylene-diene terpolymer containing from about 0.2 wt % to about 20 wt % ethylidene norbornene and/or vinyl norbornene and about 10 wt % to about 30 wt % of ethylene and/or C4-C20 α-olefins derived units.
