A wire rod, whose tensile strength after wire drawing becomes more or less 3,000 MPa, which does not cause wire breakage even if wire drawing speed is increased, which does not shorten the life time of a dice, and whose wire drawability is improved, contains C: 0.65-0.75%, Si: 0.1-0.5%, Mn: 0.1-0.6%, P: 0.015% or below (not including 0%), S: 0.015% or below (not including 0%), N: 0.004% or below (not including 0%), Al: 0.003% or below (not including 0%), O: 0.003% or below (not including 0%), the balance being iron and inevitable impurities, tensile strength (TS) being 960 MPa or below, and reduction of area (RA) being 40% or above.
