The present invention is directed to a tire comprising at least one component comprising (A) a first copolymer rubber comprised of repeat units derived from (1) 10 to 99 weight percent of a conjugated diene monomer which contains from 4 to 8 carbon atoms; (2) 0 to 70 weight percent of a vinyl substituted aromatic monomer; and (3) 1 to 20 weight percent of at least one co-monomer selected from the group consisting of the following general formulas I: ##STR00001## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms; wherein R.sub.1 represents a saturated alcohol group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms; and (B) a second copolymer rubber comprised of repeat units derived from (1) 10 to 99 weight percent of a conjugated diene monomer which contains from 4 to 8 carbon atoms; (2) 0 to 70 weight percent of a vinyl substituted aromatic monomer; and (3) 1 to 20 weight percent of at least one co-monomer selected from the group consisting of the following general formulas I: ##STR00002## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms; wherein R.sub.1 represents a saturated alcohol group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms; wherein the first and second copolymer have a difference in glass transition temperatures ranging from 30.degree. C. to 60.degree. C.
