2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, glass beads and ceramic beads have been used to reduce the weight and improve the vibration damping properties of rubber compositions (see, for example, JP-A-7-258475).
Also, an inorganic hollow filler is blended into the tire side or bead filler member to reduce the weight (for example, JP-A-7-215018, JP-A-7-257118), and further expanded to make it hollow. There is known a technique of blending crosslinked hollow polymer particles with rubber to reduce the weight of the rubber for vibration damping. There is also known a rubber composition in which hollow polyacrylonitrile particles coated with a metal oxide are blended with rubber to reduce the weight of the rubber composition and prevent slippage. However, in these conventional techniques, since the members constituting the hollow particles are made of an inorganic material, the effect of reducing the weight is exhibited, but some of them are destroyed at the time of mixing and processing, or the inorganic material is used. There was a problem in terms of flexibility, and also those using the cross-linked hollow polymer, because the outer grains of the hollow polymer body are cross-linked and hardened, its kneading, some during processing. Although it is possible to immerse or enclose a volatile substance in a crosslinked polymer and gasify and expand it by heat, since it is strongly crosslinked, there is a limit to the expansion coefficient, and it is not possible to obtain a material sufficient for weight reduction. Further, the compounded rubber composition is not yet satisfactory in terms of flexibility to follow external stress.

The kneading and preforming of the thermally expandable plastic resin particles in the rubber composition for a pneumatic tire of the present invention are as follows.
The reaction is performed at a temperature lower than the expansion start temperature, preferably at a temperature lower by at least 10 ° C. than the expansion start temperature, more preferably at a temperature lower by at least 15 ° C. Otherwise, the thermally expandable resin particles may partially expand at this stage, and the particles expanded in the next step may be crushed. After kneading and pre-molding, the pre-molded product is heat-molded at a temperature at which the thermally expandable resin particles contained therein are at or above the expansion start temperature to expand the thermally expandable resin particles, thereby forming a gas-filled thermoplastic resin. And The heat molding temperature at this time is in the range of ± 20 ° C. (preferably ± 15 ° C.) of the maximum expansion temperature of the heat-expandable resin particles so that sufficient expansion can be achieved and optimum physical properties of the rubber material can be obtained. It is good to carry out at the temperature within. At the time of the heating, the rubber component constituting the matrix is vulcanized and cured. Further, even if the thermally expandable resin particles expand into gas-filled thermoplastic resin particles, the weight of the resin itself changes only slightly before and after the expansion.
