The present invention aims to provide rubber compositions for tires that contain a natural rubber achieving a balanced improvement in abrasion resistance, breaking performance, and processability to achieve a balanced improvement in abrasion resistance, breaking performance, and processability, and also provide pneumatic tires containing such rubber compositions for tires. Included is a rubber composition for tires comprising a modified natural rubber prepared by treating natural rubber latex with a proteolytic enzyme, and then treating the treated natural rubber latex with a lipolytic enzyme and/or a phospholipid degrading enzyme. Also included is a rubber composition for tires, comprising a modified natural rubber prepared by centrifuging natural rubber latex to recover a latex fraction comprising latex particles having an average particle size of 0.25 μm or less.
