A rubber composition is disclosed comprising 70 phr to 95 phr of styrene butadiene rubber comprising at least 5 phr or from 5 phr to 35 phr of a first styrene butadiene rubber having a glass transition temperature within a range of -49°C to -15°C and at least 45 phr or from 45 phr to 75 phr of a second styrene butadiene rubber having a glass transition temperature within a range of -50°C to -89°C. The rubber composition comprises more of the second styrene butadiene rubber than of the first styrene butadiene rubber. The rubber composition further comprises 5 phr to 30 phr or from 15 phr to 25 phr of at least one member selected from the group consisting of natural rubber and synthetic polyisoprene rubber; 135 phr to 200 phr of silica; and at least 55 phr of at least one hydrocarbon resin comprising at least one terpene resin which has a glass transition temperature of at least 30°C. Also, a tire (1) having a component, preferably a tread (10), comprising such a rubber composition is disclosed.
