By the way, an inner liner layer made of a rubber having a low gas permeability such as butyl rubber or halogenated butyl rubber is provided on the inner surface of the pneumatic tire in order to keep the tire air pressure constant. However, since halogenated butyl rubber has a large hysteresis loss, when the inner surface rubber and inner liner layer of the carcass layer are corrugated in the gap between the carcass cords after vulcanization of the tire, the inner liner rubber layer is deformed along with the deformation of the carcass layer. Since there is deformation, there is a problem that rolling resistance increases. Therefore, in general, the inner liner layer (halogenated butyl rubber) and the inner surface rubber of the carcass layer are joined together via a rubber sheet called tie rubber having a small hysteresis loss. Therefore, the thickness of the tie rubber is added to the thickness of the inner liner layer of halogenated butyl rubber, and the total layer thickness is 1 mm (1
The thickness was more than 000 μm), which was one of the causes of increasing the weight of the product tire as a result.

These master batches were pelletized using a pelletizer for rubber, kneaded with a resin material and a cross-linking agent at various compounding ratios (parts by weight) shown in Table XIV with a biaxial kneader, pelletized, and then extruded. Machine width 350mm, thickness 0.
A 1 mm film was made. The air permeability coefficient and Young's modulus of the obtained film were measured. Further, these films were wound on a tire forming drum, and a tire member such as a carcass, a side belt and a tread was laminated thereon and inflated to obtain a green tire. Green tires are vulcanized by a vulcanizer at 180 ° C for 10 minutes,
