<p>A method of manufacturing a pneumatic tire (1) comprises making a rubber-coated cord-member by coating one or more cords (10) with rubber, and making the tread reinforcement by putting together a plurality of the cord-members around a drum (D) into a cylindrical network (12) of the cords, so that the cords make a first array of cords inclining in one direction with respect to the tire equator and a second array of cords inclining in one direction which is opposite to the cords of the first array with respect to the tire equator. It is possible that the cord-members are woven. It is also possible that the cord-members are not woven and, in the crossings of the cords, one of the two cross cords is curved along the other cord. <IMAGE></p> |
