Abstract

An objective of the present invention is to provide rubber composition and method for producing the same capable of giving a vulcanized rubber which has an excellent processability and a sufficient wearing resistance and which is useful for a tire. A rubber composition in the invention is obtained by the following step of preparing a first rubber formulation [P1] by kneading a formulation (A1) comprising a rubber component containing a conjugated diene-based rubber and a silica, preparing a second rubber formulation [P2] by kneading a formulation (B1) comprising a mixed material containing a silane coupling agent and the first rubber formulation [P1], and kneading a formulation (C) comprising the second rubber formulation [P2], a zinc oxide and a vulcanizing agent. Such conjugated diene-based rubber is preferably one having at least one selected from the group consisting of an alkoxysilyl, an amino, a hydroxyl and an epoxy groups.
