Abstract
In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a tire comprising a conductive rubber composition strip having an end, which is i) axially between a first sidewall and an adjacent axially outer surface of a tread base layer, and ii) radially below a tread cap layer, wherein the strip extends along the sidewall from said end at least to an electrically conductive chafer. In another aspect, a tire also has a second conductive rubber composition layer having an edge adjacent an axially outer end region of a belt portion, and extending along a radially inner surface of the tread portion towards a first conductive rubber composition layer. In a third aspect, a tire comprises a conductive circumferential ring portion extending through a shoulder rib and/or row of tread blocks, and/or an adjacent rib or row of tread blocks, and which is in contact with a conductive rubber composition layer.
