  • TYRE PRODUCTION METHOD AND SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20120090767
    Abstract: A method and system (1) for producing a tyre (2), whereby a lateral surface (10) of the casing (6) is buffed; an inner surface (19) of a tread strip (13) is buffed; a green-rubber cushion (12) and the tread strip (13) are wound about the lateral surface (10) of the casing (6) to assemble the tyre (2); and the tyre (2) is cured.
