Abstract

Rubber compositions suitable for tire treads are disclosed. Starting rubbers made up of at least one SBR of -20.degree. C. to -40.degree. C. in Tg and at least one SBR of lower than -45.degree. C. in Tg are blended with specified amounts of carbon blacks having a N.sub.2 SA of more than 120 m.sup.2 /g and of softeners having a VGC of 0.90 to 0.98, whereby the compositions are provided with a storage shear modulus of less than 500 MPa at -30.degree. C. The compositions are excellent in friction performance, abrasion resistance and low-temperature resistance.
