A method for producing a rubber composition containing a rubber component (A) of at least one selected from natural rubbers and synthetic dienic rubbers, a filler containing an inorganic filler (B), and a silane coupling agent (C) of a compound having a mercapto group, wherein the rubber composition is kneaded in multiple stages, in the first stage of kneading, the rubber component (A), all or a part of the inorganic filler (B), and all or a part of the silane coupling agent (C) are kneaded, then in the first stage or in the subsequent kneading stage, at least one compound selected from an acidic compound (D) and a basic compound (E) is added, and the highest temperature of the rubber composition in the final stage of kneading is from 60 to 120° C. |
