Abstract
The present invention provides rubber compositions for tires which are capable of improving handling stability, fuel efficiency, and processability while sufficiently reducing the dependence on petroleum resources, and pneumatic tires including tire components (e.g. bead apex) formed from the rubber compositions for tires. The present invention relates to rubber compositions for tires, containing a rubber component and a naturally derived phenolic resin.
