IMPROVED METHODS OF TIRE RETREADING USING SPACERS

摘要

The present invention include tire treads and methods of forming a retreaded tire, which includes the steps of providing an annular tire carcass configured for receiving a tread and providing a plurality of tread components each comprising an independent structure. The plurality of tread components are then assembled to form a tire tread, the tire tread having a thickness extending between a top side configured to engage a ground surface during tire operation and a bottom side configured for attachment to an annular tire carcass configured for receiving the tire tread. The assembled tread is bonded to the tire carcass to form a retreaded tire, the tire tread being arranged along an outer circumference of the annular tire carcass with a bonding layer between the tire tread and the tire carcass, where bonding layer includes an uncured elastomeric material being cured during the step of bonding.
