Abstract

A tire tread rubber composition exhibiting outstanding dynamic behavior and characterized in that the composition comprises as a rubber component at least 30 wt. % of an elastic styrene-butadiene copolymer prepared by solution polymerization with use of a lithium-base catalyst, the copolymer being higher than -60.degree. C. in glass transition temperature (T g) and at least 40.degree. C. in the peak mesial width of tan .delta. determined from the temperature range between the two points of intersection of the curve of tan .delta. with the line of tan .delta.=1/2a wherein a is the peak value of tan .delta. determined from a temperature-tan .delta. dispersion curve.
