FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to rubber mixtures for making tyres. The rubber mixture for making tyres contains a rubber component which contains at least one rubber selected from natural rubber and epoxidated natural rubber, silicon dioxide, vegetable wax and a silane binding agent. Silicon dioxide content ranges from 10 pts.wt to 110 pts.wt per 100 pts.wt rubber component. Wax content ranges from 1.2 to 2 wt % based on total weight of the rubber mixture. The invention also provides a tread (2), a side wall (3), a clinch part (4) and a tyre (1) made from this mixture. The invention also provides a rubber mixture for use in making the base (12b) of a tyre tread (11) which contains 100 pts.wt rubber component which contains diene rubber, 20-70 pts.wt silicon dioxide, 2-15 pts.wt vegetable wax and a silane binding agent. The invention also provides the base (12b) of a tyre tread and a tyre (11) made from this rubber mixture. The result is fewer components made from oil resources. The rubber mixtures have excellent wear resistance and resistance to discolouration.
EFFECT: use of the rubber mixture for the base of a tyre tread reduces fuel consumption of the vehicle.
