<p>This tire manufacturing method and apparatus is directed at low cost, highly efficient and excellent reforming carried out on an intermediate band (31). Cylindrical forming sleeves (30) having annular grooves (32) are engaged on the outside of both axial end portions of a forming drum (11), and subsequently a carcass ply (20) is wound onto the forming drum (11), and an intermediate band (31) is formed in which both axial end portions are positioned outside of the forming sleeves (30). After that, reforming is carried out over the entire circumference by forcing the intermediate band (31) into the annular grooves (32) using disk-shaped members (39). As such, manual work by technicians is rendered unnecessary and increased production efficiency and labor savings can be achieved. Furthermore, since the intermediate band (31) is in close contact with the forming sleeves (30) during reforming, excellent reforming can be easily carried out.</p> |
