[Problem] To provide a cyclopentene ring-opening copolymer used in a rubber composition for tires having excellent wet grip performance and low heat buildup; and a method for producing the cyclopentene ring-opening copolymer. To further provide a rubber composition obtained by using the cyclopentene ring-opening copolymer. [Solution] This cyclopentene ring-opening copolymer comprises cyclopentene and a cyclic olefin containing an aromatic ring; the content of the aromatic ring with respect to the total weight of the copolymer is 10 to 40 wt%; and the weight average molecular weight (Mw) is 200,000 to 1,000,000. The cyclopentene ring-opening copolymer alternatively comprises cyclopentene and a norbornene compound; the weight ratio of cyclopentene-derived structural units to all repeating structural units in the copolymer is 40 to 90 wt%, and the weight ratio of norbornene compound-derived structural units is 10 to 60 wt%; and the weight average molecular weight (Mw) is 200,000 to 1,000,000. |
