Abstract
Provided are: a tire rubber composition improving fuel economy and abrasion resistance while maintaining good wet-grip performance or improving it; and a pneumatic tire including the same. The composition contains: a rubber component including a diene polymer (1); silica; and a diene polymer (2), the polymers (1) and (2) being modified diene polymers obtained by reacting components (A)-(B), the polymer (1) having a Mn of 110000-1500000, the polymer (2) having a Mn of 1000-100000, the amount of polymer (2) being 2-25 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the rubber component, wherein (A): an active alkali metal-terminated conjugated diene polymer obtained by polymerizing a conjugated diene monomer alone or with an aromatic vinyl monomer, in the presence of a component (C); (B): a modifying agent containing a functional group; (C): a chemical species obtained by reacting an organic alkali metal compound with a compound of formula (1):
