The invention relates to a rubber compound and a pneumatic vehicle tire. The rubber compound contains the following constituents: - 15 to 55 phr of at least one natural polyisoprene and/or 15 to 55 phr of at least one synthetic polyisoprene and - 15 to 85 phr of at least one polybutadiene and - 60 to 100 phr of at least one carbon black and - 1 to 10 phr of at least one ozone protective wax, wherein the ozone protective wax contains unbranched hydrocarbons with the following chain length distribution consisting of at least three ranges A and B and C: i. Range A: hydrocarbons with 26 to 31 carbon atoms ii. Range B: hydrocarbons with 32 to 36 carbon atoms iii. Range C: hydrocarbons with 37 to 47 hydrocarbon atoms, wherein the relative proportions by amount of ranges A to B to C are 0.7 to 1.5 to 1 to 0.6 to 1.4. The pneumatic vehicle tire contains the rubber compound in at least one outer component.
