<p>A method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire wherein a green tire formed on the outer surface of a rigid core is transported into a vulcanizing mold together with the rigid core, and the vulcanizing mold is closed to form a vulcanization space for sealing and storing the green tire between the vulcanizing mold and the rigid core. At closure of the vulcanizing mold, an annular movable seal supported by one of the vulcanizing mold and the rigid core is urged toward the surface of the other so as to prevent generation of a gap between the vulcanizing mold and the rigid core at closure of the vulcanizing mold and to absorb change in the shape of the rigid core at vulcanization. <IMAGE></p> |
