RADIAL TIRE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE

摘要

RADIAL TIRE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE h pneumatic radial tire 10 is made by applying a restricting member 58 circumferentially around a cylindrical radial tire carcass 12. Shaping pressure inflates the carcass to a toroidal shape having a section height 44 less than a predetermined section height 57 so that the carcass can be enclosed by a mold for vulcanization. After vulcanization, normal inflation pressure is sufficient to further expand the restricting member 58 and carcass 12 to a shape having a section height greater than the predetermined section height so that the carcass 12 may be pressed into gripping engagement with a replaceable tread belt 14.
