Provided are a rubber composition for sidewalls containing 100 parts by mass of a rubber component consisting of at least a natural rubber or a modified natural rubber, 5 parts by mass or less of carbon black, 10 to 40 parts by mass of silica and 5 to 30 parts by mass of an inorganic filler component composed of one kind or two or more kinds of inorganic filler excluding carbon black and silica, and a pneumatic tire provided with a sidewall rubber prepared using the rubber composition. The used amounts of raw materials derived from petroleum resources have been reduced in this rubber composition. Moreover, the rubber composition exhibits low fuel consumption due to low rolling resistance and good flex crack growth resistance. |
