The present invention pertains to a hydrous silica for rubber-reinforcing filler, having a BET specific surface area ranging from 230 to 350 m2/g, and satisfies the following: a) the pore volume of 1.9 nm to 100 nm pore radius measured by the mercury press-in method (VHP-Hg) ranges from 1.40 to 2.00 cm3/g; b) total pore volume in the range of 1.6 nm to 100 nm pore radius by the nitrogen adsorption/desorption method (VN2) ranges from 1.60 to 2.20 cm3/g; and c) the pore volume ratio of (a) and (b) VHP-Hg/VN2 ranges from 0.70 to 0.95. This invention provides a hydrous silica capable of further improving reinforcing properties of a rubber, particularly the wear resistance by improving dispersibility of the hydrous silica in the rubber in addition to rubber reinforcing properties obtained by a high BET specific surface area.
