Abstract: A pneumatic tire which facilitates separation of a rubber layer and is excellent in recyclability and retreadability and a method of scrapping the same. A pneumatic tire comprises a partition layer buried adjacent to a rubber layer, the partition layer including at least one cord repeatedly bent to turn around at its bent portion and arranged in a plane and rubber portions interposed between adjacent portions of the cord. Herein, the cord is arranged in a direction intersecting with the tire circumferential direction. The cord of the partition layer is pulled in an in-plane direction of the partition layer to sequentially cut the rubber portions interposed between the adjacent portions of the cord. The rubber layer adjacent to the partition layer is thus separated.

The adhesive is an RTV polysiloxane comprised of an hydroxyl terminated (silanol terminated) polysiloxane and crosslinking agent. The adhesive is applied as a layer, or coating, thereof onto a surface of said pre-cured rubber strip, and/or onto a corresponding pre-cured inner surface of said pre-cured tire, and the resulting coated pre-cured rubber strip and inner surface of said pre-cured tire brought together with said layer of adhesive therebetween and the adhesive allowed to cure and thereby bond said strip to said tire inner surface. In one aspect of the invention, said strip is an annular pre-cured rubber strip bonded to the tire's inner surface in its crown region or to said tire inner surface circumferential with and close to the periphery of the tire's open cavity. In another aspect of the invention, said tire inner surface is of a textured configuration and optionally contains a thin coating thereon of a polysiloxane material. In a further aspect of the invention, said pre-cured rubber strip contains a transducer and/or microprocessor inductively and/or electrically connected to said electrically conductive element(s), for example a wire antenna, contained in said rubber strip.
