A tire having a layer of uncured rubber in its tread portion is fitted to a hub and an annular protective chain is placed over the uncured rubber. The tire is inflated and the protective chain is tensioned by chains connected to the lateral edges of the chain and extending radially inwardly to the axis of and axially away from the central plane of the tire by means of a telescopic jack aligned with the axis of the tire. The tire is vulcanised by sealably enclosing it in a cover, venting the space between the cover and tire, and curing the rubber in an autoclave in which the tire is a loose fit. |
