A rubber composition for covering a textile cord according to the present invention contains silica and 0.5 to 4 parts by mass of a 1,3-bis(citraconimidomethyl) compound with respect to 100 parts by mass of a rubber component containing natural rubber and/or epoxidized natural rubber. Thus, a rubber composition for covering a textile cord, mainly composed of a raw material derived from non-petroleum resources, excellent in heat resistance and durability and a tire employing the same can be provided in consideration of the environment and in preparation for future depletion of petroleum resources. |
