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 30 to 100
phr of high trans random SBR, and from about zero to about 70 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.
