Described herein are tires comprising a rubber composition based on at least an elastomer matrix comprising from 50 to 100 phr of one or more copolymers of butadiene and of vinylaromatic monomer, having a content of vinylaromatic units of between 0 and 5% by weight and a Tg within a range extending from -110°C to -70°C; and a hydrocarbon resin, wherein said hydrocarbon resin is based on a cyclic monomer selected from the group consisting of a distillation cut from a petroleum refinery stream, and/or C4, C5 or C6 cyclic olefins and mixtures thereof, and wherein the hydrocarbon resin has a content of aromatic protons (H Ar, expressed in mol%), a glass transition temperature (Tg, is expressed in °C), and a number average molecular weight (Mn, expressed in g/mol that are represented by (1) H Ar > 6 mol%, (2) Tg ≥ 95 - 2.2 * (H Ar), and (3) Tg ≥ -53 + (0.265 * Mn). |
