Rubber composition and pneumatic tire

Abstract

The present invention provides a rubber composition having good abrasion resistance and a pneumatic tire formed from the rubber composition. Provided is a rubber composition containing: a compound having a group represented by the following formula (I): wherein R11 and R12 are the same or different and each represent a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group optionally containing a heteroatom; and a sulfur atom-containing vulcanization accelerator, the rubber composition being obtained by, before kneading a rubber component with any sulfur, kneading the rubber component and the sulfur atom-containing vulcanization accelerator, and then kneading the kneaded mixture with sulfur.
