RUBBER COMPOSITION FOR TIRE AND TIRE

The present invention provides a rubber composition for a tire and a tire using the same which improve fuel economy (rolling resistance) and abrasion resistance in a balanced manner. The present invention further provides a rubber composition for a tire and a tire using the same which improve fuel economy, abrasion resistance, and grip performance in a balanced manner. The above rubber composition for a tire contains a vulcanizing agent, and modified natural rubber with a hydroxyl group directly bonded to a main chain of natural rubber.
