The present invention provides a rubber composition, in which reaction
efficiency of the silane coupling agent in kneading is improved,
generation of bubbles is suppressed, abrasion resistance is improved and
rolling resistance is reduced. Specifically, the rubber composition
comprises silica and 3 to 15 parts by weight of a silane coupling agent
and 1.5 to 15 parts by weight of a potassium salt based on 100 parts by
weight of the silica.
