ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic tire and a method of making the same are disclosed, wherein the tire is made by vulcanizing a green tire in a split mold. The mold has circumferentially extending split lines at a position corresponding to the tire buttress region. The inner surface of the mold is provided with protrusions immediately radially outside the split lines and ribs immediately radially inside the split lines, so that the vulcanized tire is provided with depressions and grooves corresponding to the protrusions and ribs, respectively. Therefore, the raw tire rubber does not get between the split faces of the mold, and the occurrence of burrs along the mold-split lines can be completely prevented.
