Off road tires having a blended layer arranged in the crown portion are described for improving adhesion between the tread and underlying or adjacent tire components. Increased adhesion between tire components can reduce the frequency of separation and increase the service life of the tire. The blended layer contains a portion of the same material composition of a tire component that contacts the layer to ensure the blended layer has ingredients common with the adjacent component. As arranged between two tire components or layers, the blended layer can have a first portion and a second portion corresponding to compositions of the layers in contact with the blended layer. The incorporation of compositions in contact with the blended layer allows the blended layer to simulate entanglement between materials and increases the bonding strength between the layer and other components in the tire.
