Provided are: a rubber composition for tires or a silane coupling agent, which is used for the purpose of providing a tire with high fuel consumption saving performance; a tire obtained using this rubber composition; and a novel organosilicon compound which is used for the rubber composition for tires, and the like. The rubber composition for tires is characterized by containing an organosilicon compound of a specific structure having a thioester structure, and at least one compound selected from among vinyl-based organosilicon compounds, amino-based organosilicon compounds, alkyl-based organosilicon compounds, epoxy-based organosilicon compounds, methacrylic organosilicon compounds, (protected) mercapto-based organosilicon compounds, (poly)sulfide-based organosilicon compounds and condensation products of these organosilicon compounds. |
