Abstract

A rubber composition for treads characterized in that the composition comprises 100 parts by weight of a rubber component and 50 to 100 parts by weight of carbon black admixed therewith, the rubber component comprising 10 to 50 parts by weight of a solution-polymerized star styrene-butadiene rubber (I) having specific styrene content, vinyl content of the butadiene portion and at least 40% in the efficiency of coupling with a tin halide, 20 to 70 parts by weight of a solution-polymerized straight-chain styrene-butadiene rubber (II) having specific styrene content and vinyl content of the butadiene portion and 10 to 50 parts by weight of natural rubber or isoprene rubber (III), the carbon black being in the range of 75 to 105 in nitrogen adsorption specific surface area (N.sub.2 SA), at least 15 in the difference between N.sub.2 SA and the iodine adsorption number (IA) thereof and 0 to 5 in the difference between N.sub.2 SA and the cetylitrimethylammonium bromide adsorption specific surface area (CTAB) thereof, the composition being -50.degree. to -30.degree. C. in the peak temperature of loss tangent, tan .delta..
