RUBBER COMPOSITION AND TIRE PRODUCED USING SAME, AND PROCESS OF PRODUCING RUBBER COMPOSITION

The present invention relates to a process of producing a rubber composition containing a rubber component (R) containing emulsion-polymerized styrene-butadiene copolymer rubber containing from 0 to 3.5 parts by mass of an organic acid per 100 parts by mass of the emulsion-polymerized styrene-butadiene copolymer rubber, a filler containing an inorganic filler (T), a silane coupling agent (U), and at least one vulcanization accelerator (V) selected from a guanidine compound, a sulfenamide compound and a thiazole compound, the process comprising three or more steps of kneading the rubber composition, the rubber component (R), the whole or a part of the inorganic filler (T) and the whole or a part of the silane coupling agent (U) being added and kneaded in a first step (X) of kneading, the vulcanization accelerator (V) being added and kneaded in a step (Y) that is a second or later step before a final step, and a vulcanizing agent being added and kneaded in the final step (Z).
