Abstract: A rubber composition excellent in air permeation resistance and improved in flexure failure resistance, and a weight-saving pneumatic tire excellent in air permeation resistance and improved in flexure failure resistance in which the rubber composition is used as the inner liner therein is provided. The rubber composition contains, relative to 100 parts by mass of the rubber ingredient (A) therein, from 1 to 9 parts by mass of carbon black (B) and from 80 to 150 parts by mass of a layered or platy clay mineral (C).

Abstract: The present invention provides a rubber composition exhibiting good workability and suitable for use in an inner liner of a tire. Specifically, the present invention provides a rubber composition, comprising: a rubber component; an inorganic filler having an aspect ratio of 2 to 200; and optionally at least one of carbon black and a metal salt of aliphatic acid, wherein contents of the inorganic filler, the carbon black and the metal salt of aliphatic acid satisfy following formula (1): C?0.016×(A?0.5×B)?1.18??(1) In formula (1), “A” represents a content (parts by mass) of the inorganic filler with respect to 100 parts by mass of the rubber component, “B” represents a content (parts by mass) of the carbon black with respect to 100 parts by mass of the rubber component, and “C” represents a content (parts by mass) of the metal salt of aliphatic acid with respect to 100 parts by mass of the rubber component.
