The invention is directed to a pneumatic tire having at least one component comprising
a vulcanizable rubber composition, wherein the vulcanizable rubber composition
comprises, based on 100 parts by weight of elastomer (phr), from about 5 to 30
phr of high trans random SBR, and from about 70 to about 95 phr of at least one
additional elastomer, wherein the high trans random SBR comprises from about 3
to about 30 percent by weight of styrene.
