RUBBER COMPOSITION AND PNEUMATIC TIRE USING THE SAME IN TREAD

A rubber composition comprising as a rubber component a specified styrene-butadiene copolymer (A) and a styrene-isoprene copolymer of a specified hydrogenation ratio (B)wherein a bound styrene content of the copolymer (B) is larger by a given value than a bound styrene content of the copolymer (A) is good in the wear resistance and fracture property and further excellent in the wet-skid resistance and dry gripping property.
