Abstract:
A pneumatic radial tire comprises a carcass comprising an outer carcass ply made of cords having a first heat-shrinkage-percentage K1 and an inner carcass ply is made of cords having a second heat-shrinkage-percentage K2 different from the first heat-shrinkage-percentage K1, and the cord tension of the inner carcass ply is smaller than the cord tension of the outer carcass ply. A method of making the tire comprises steps of making the outer carcass ply of cords having a first heat-shrinkage-percentage K1, making the inner carcass ply of cords having a second heat-shrinkage-percentage K2, wherein the first heat-shrinkage-percentage K1 at 150 degrees C. is 120 to 160% of the second heat-shrinkage-percentage K2 at 150 degrees C., and heating and vulcanizing a raw tire to heat-shrink the outer carcass ply cords in a larger degree than the inner carcass ply.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a radial tire is disclosed, wherein a tread ring is formed separately from a tier main body by the sue of a tread ring forming apparatus. The radial tire comprises a belt having a camber and a band wound thereon. The tread ring is an annular assembly of a raw belt, a raw band wound thereon and a raw tread rubber. The tread ring forming apparatus comprising a belt drum made up of segments defining the drum circumference. In a cross section including the belt drum axis, the radially outer surface of each segment is a straight line parallel to the axis. In a cross section normal to the belt drum axis, the radiallly outer surface is an arc having one radius substantially equal to one half of the drum diameter, but the drum circumference is decreased in the belt edge portion than the central portion by increasing gaps between the segments.

Abstract:
The invention can reduce a step between rubber strips even in the case that the rubber strip is made thick, and inhibits a reduction of uniformity and tire quality, a deterioration of a tire outer appearance, and the like. A rubber strip (10) may be scalene triangular shape, a trapezoidal shape or a parallelogram shape having has a bottom line (11) forming a strip width (W), a first diagonal line (12) extending from one end of the bottom line (11) and a second diagonal line (13) extending from the other end (P2) of the bottom line (11), a length (L0) of the bottom line is set to 5 to 50 mm, and a thickness (T) thereof is set to 0.2 to 5.0 mm.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for taking up a narrow sheet member which is a tire component in which disordered winding by detecting a difference between a delivery velocity and a takeup velocity of the narrow sheet member using a dancer member, and by controlling a drive motor of a bobbin using the detected signal in such a way that the takeup velocity and the delivery velocity are equal to each other.
