Zusammenfassung:The present invention is directed toward an improved method of manufacturing a pneumatic tire using a bladderless curing system. The tire is built on an associated tire building drum (26 ) by the layering of multiple tire components on the drum (26 ); one of the components is an innerliner strip (28 ). In accordance with the disclosed invention, the innerliner strip (28 ) is formed with precured regions (32 ). The precured regions (32 ) are formed by curing the innerliner strip (28 ) at one or more regions intermediate of the ends (30 ) of the strip (28 ). The strip (28 ) is applied to the tire building drum (26 ) and the ends (30 ) are spliced to one another.
