A product and process for imparting decorative appliques to the sidewalls of tires during the curing operation are presented. Rubber-based appliques are precured and maintained upon a substrate for application to the sidewall of the tire during the curing operation for the tire. The precure provides integrity and definition to the applique while the curing operation allows for complete and total bonding of the applique to the tire. Further, the applique is of such nature that it maintains its identity without deformation during the elevated temperatures and pressures incident to the curing operation. After cure, the substrate is stripped from the tire and applique, the result being a cured tire with a decorative sidewall. |
