  • Patent number: 8765844
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of rubber composition for tire tread or the other, which is comprised of adding 30-110 mass parts of silica powders to 100 mass parts of diene rubber component and adding silane coupling agent by 3-15 mass % of the silica powders, comprising: preparing hetero-modified SBR having hetero atom functional group; a first kneader-mixing step, in which 60-85 mass parts of the diene rubber component including no less than 20 mass % of the hetero-modified SBR is mixed in a kneader device with substantially all of the reinforcing fillers; taking out of obtained mixture to give a master batch; and second kneader-mixing step, in which the master batch is mixed substantially solely with remaining mass parts of the diene component.
