The invention relates to silane mixtures comprising a silane of the formula I
(R.sup.1).sub.y(R.sup.2).sub.3-ySi—R.sup.3—(S—R.sup.4).sub.n—S.sub.x—R.sup.5  (I)
and a silane of the formula II
(R.sup.1).sub.y(R.sup.2).sub.3-ySi—R.sup.3—Si(R.sup.1).sub.y(R.sup.2).sub.3-y  (II)
where the molar ratio of silane of the formula I to silane of the formula II is 15:85-90:10. The silane mixture according to the invention can be prepared by mixing the silanes of the formula I and silanes of the formula II.
