Abstract

A modified conjugated diene-based polymer containing: having a weight average molecular weight of 20×10 4 or more and 300×10 4 or less, having a star-branched structure with a conjugated diene-based polymer chain bonded to a modifier residue, wherein the modifier residue has at least 4 silicon atoms, and alkoxy groups and/or hydroxyl groups and the conjugated diene-based polymer chain is bonded to the silicon atom, wherein the number of alkoxy groups and/or hydroxyl groups in the modifier residue is larger than the number of the silicon atoms on average.

Claims (33)
