    Abstract: A tire having reduced mass and low rolling resistance and a method of manufacture thereof achieves reduced weight by using thin layers of thermoplastic polyurethanes (“TPU's”) to heat seal the carcass, breaker, and tread layers of the tire to each other, rather than embedding the layers in conventional, relatively thicker and heavier layers of sulfur cured vulcanized carbon filled elastomers. Creep and “spring-back” of the thermoplastic polyurethanes during cure is avoided by maintaining the adhered layers under pressure until the assembly cools below its glass transition temperature. In embodiments, the heat sealing can be performed on the forming drum, and in some embodiments cool rollers are applied to the heat-sealed carcass so as to accelerate the cooling to below the glass transition temperature.

    Abstract: In order to enable the suppression of the occurrence of poor appearance, a pneumatic tire (1) is provided with a carcass (6) configured from at least one carcass ply (6A). The carcass ply (6A) is formed by arranging, in the tire circumferential direction, rectangular sheet-shaped ply pieces (11) each having a radial direction length (L2) larger than a tire circumferential direction length (L1). In each of the ply pieces (11), carcass cords (12) are arranged parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction, and the ply piece (11) and a ply piece (11) adjacent thereto at least partially overlap with each other in the tire circumferential direction. Further, in each of the ply pieces (11), the distance (Pe) between the carcass cords (12) in at least one side edge portion (11e) in the circumferential direction of the ply piece (11) is larger than the distance (Pc) between the carcass cords (12) in the central portion (11c) of the ply piece (11).
