TIRE AND TIRE PRODUCING METHOD

摘要

A tire and a method of producing the tire, where the tire has a tread layer constituted of tread rubber and a conductive belt provided in an intermediate portion in the width direction of the tread rubber. The tread rubber is constructed from a low conductive continuous rubber ribbon circumferentially wound plural times, and the conductive belt is constructed from a highly conductive thin annular rubber sheet. The conductive belt is provided so as to extend in a width direction region from a part of a top surface of a first tread rubber portion up to a part of a bottom surface of a second tread rubber portion. The structure above improves tire uniformity and enables the tire to be produced in a multi-kind mixed production system. Further the thickness in the width direction of the conductive belt can be constrained to minimum, and a conductive path from the belt to a tread surface can be formed reliably and at low cost.
