Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to a method of preparing a rubber composition comprising the sequential steps of, based upon parts by weight per 100 parts by weight rubber (phr): (A) mixing in a non-productive mixing step, in the absence of sulfur and sulfur cure accelerator, in an internal rubber mixer to a temperature within a range of 140°C to 190°C: (1) 100 parts by weight of a sulfur vulcanizable diene-based elastomer selected from conjugated diene homopolymers and copolymers and copolymers of vinyl aromatic compound and at least one conjugated diene; (2) 10 to 120 phr of particulate reinforcing filler wherein said reinforcing filler comprises from 10 to 120 phr of silica; (3) an oligomeric organomercaptosilane based coupling agent, and (4) a combination of zinc oxide and carboxylic acid composed of from 1 to 7 phr of zinc oxide and from 1.5 to 8 phr of carboxylic acid, wherein the weight ratio of the carboxylic acid to the zinc oxide is at least 1/1; wherein said zinc oxide and said carboxylic acid are added coi
