RUBBER COMPOSITION FOR USE IN TIRES, AND PNEUMATIC TIRE

The present invention provides a rubber composition for a tire, which results in both excellent fuel economy and high wet grip performance as well as good abrasion resistance; and a pneumatic tire formed from the rubber composition. The present invention relates to a rubber composition for a tire, the rubber composition containing a modified styrene butadiene rubber formed using a specific nitrogen-containing compound as a monomer, silica, and a specific amount of a diene rubber gel.
