There was a demand for: a rigid core for tire molding that is formed using lighter weight segments with sufficiently low coefficient of thermal expansion and sufficient hardness and strength instead of conventional segments that had a variety of problems; and a tire manufacturing method, which is capable of manufacturing tires with improved productivity without causing increased size of molding equipment or vulcanization equipment by using said rigid core for tire molding. A rigid core for tire molding having a core body on the outer surface of which a tire-molding surface is formed and a cylindrical core that is inserted in the central hole of the core body, the rigid core being characterized in that the core body is formed in a ring-shape by multiple core segments that are divided in the tire circumference direction and the core segments are manufactured using a carbon fiber-reinforced resin. |
