1. A rubber composition comprising 100 parts by mass of a diene polymer and 20-250 parts by mass of a carbon black as a filler, characterized in that the carbon black has a dibutylphthalate (DBP) absorption number of 40-180 cm3/100 g, a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area (N2SA) of 40-300 m2/g, a tint strength (TINT) of 50-150%, a light transmittance of toluene extract of not less than 90% and a hydrogen emitting ratio at 2000° C. of not less than 0.18% and a relation between the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area and the light transmittance of toluene extract satisfies the following equation (II):
0.0283×A×(100−B)≤20  (II)
(wherein A is a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area and B is a light transmittance of toluene extract).
