The present invention provides an emulsion polymerization synthetic isoprene-styrene/butadiene rubber for use in improved tire tread compositions is provided. The improved composition is a blend of a 1,4 cis-polyisoprene such as natural rubber and a synthetic rubber produced by emulsion polymerization which synthetic rubber includes isoprene and either styrene or butadiene or both styrene and butadiene. The tire tread composition has an excellent balance of good wear resistance and low rolling resistance as well as a low T g and good traction. These improved qualities for tire tread compositions have heretofore been unavailable in rubbers utilizing emulsion polymers, and have been achievable only with tire compositions including synthetic rubbers that are produced by solution polymerization.
