ABSTRACT:
A continuous strip of puncture sealing material is applied to an inside surface of a tire by laying and adhering a plurality of side-by-side turns of the strip with the different turns connected by angular crossing portions in the area of a first circumferential position of the tire. The first crossing portion overlaps a first end of the first turn. The other end of the strip is tapered and overlaps the last crossing portion and a portion of the last turn of the strip. The first circumferential position of the tire may be at a light spot circumferentially of the tire for improved balance of the tire. By overlapping the edge of the strip and pressing the material against the tire surface, the resulting puncture sealing layer is continuous and completely covers the surface of the tire under the crown portion for protection against punctures due to nails and other sharp objects.
