Abstract
A method for manufacturing a tire rubber composition includes kneading a rubber component, a silane coupling agent and a silica having a BET specific surface area of 210 m/g or more, adding a vulcanization accelerator to a first kneaded material including the rubber component, silane coupling agent and silica, kneading a first resulting mixture including the rubber component, silane coupling agent, silica and vulcanization accelerator such that a second kneaded material including the rubber component, silane coupling agent, silica and vulcanization accelerator is obtained, adding a vulcanization agent to the second kneaded material including the rubber component, silane coupling agent, silica and vulcanization accelerator, and kneading a second resulting mixture including the rubber component, silane coupling agent, silica, vulcanization accelerator and vulcanization agent. The first kneaded material has a pH of 6.5 or less, and the second kneaded material has a pH of 8.0 or more.
