Abstract

A modified conjugated diene-based polymer according to the present invention has a weight average molecular weight of 20×10 4 or more and 300×10 4 or less, has a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of 1.6 or more and 4.0 or less, has a modification ratio of 30% by mass or more and 80% by mass or less with respect to a total amount of the conjugated diene-based polymer, and includes 5% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less of a component having a molecular weight of 1,000,000 or more and 5,000,000 or less in GPC (gel permeation chromatography), wherein a modification ratio of the component having a molecular weight of 1,000,000 or more and 5,000,000 or less is 90% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less.

Claims (23)
