Method for producing a vehicle tyre with a tyre carcass (9, 10), tyre beads with cores, a tyre breaker belt and a tread, comprising the following steps: a) completing a tyre carcass (9, 10) with a ply turnup on a carcass drum, wherein individual carcass inserts are wound up on the carcass drum and the axial ends of the carcass inserts are wrapped around two tyre cores by a wrapping device and wherein no tyre building parts in the form of sidewalls (5, 11) are placed on the carcass drum, b) removing the tyre carcass with a ply turnup from the carcass drum by a carcass transfer unit, c) moving the carcass transfer unit with the tyre carcass to a sidewall station for arranging sidewalls (5, 11) on the tyre beads of the tyre carcass or moving the carcass transfer unit with the tyre carcass to a shaping station with a shaping drum, on which two sidewalls (5, 11) have been positioned in advance in the region of the core clamping segments, d) transferring the tyre carcass (9, 10) from the carcass transfer unit to the shaping drum, e) moving the carcass transfer unit away from the shaping drum, f) shaping the tyre carcass (9, 10) with the sidewalls (5, 11) attached in the region of the tyre beads, wherein the sidewalls (5, 11) are turned up laterally on the tyre carcass (9, 10) by a turning-up means and the tyre carcass (9, 10) is combined with the coaxially arranged belt-tread package, wherein the turning-up means is arranged rotatably on a coupling element (7, 8), which is arranged on the drum shaft and is mounted in the axial direction and coaxially in relation to the drum shaft and is moved by an external drive in the axial direction, which drive is arranged outside the drum shaft of the shaping drum, g) completing the tyre blank by further steps. a) completing a tyre carcass (9, 10) with a ply turnup on a carcass drum, wherein individual carcass inserts are wound up on the carcass drum and the axial ends of the carcass inserts are wrapped around two tyre cores by a wrapping device and wherein no tyre building parts in the form of sidewalls (5, 11) are placed on the carcass drum, b) removing the tyre carcass with a ply turnup from the carcass drum by a carcass transfer unit, c) moving the carcass transfer unit with the tyre carcass to a sidewall station for arranging sidewalls (5, 11) on the tyre beads of the tyre carcass or moving the carcass transfer unit with the tyre carcass to a shaping station with a shaping drum, on which two sidewalls (5, 11) have been positioned in advance in the region of the core clamping segments, d) transferring the tyre carcass (9, 10) from the carcass transfer unit to the shaping drum, e) moving the carcass transfer unit away from the shaping drum, f) shaping the tyre carcass (9, 10) with the sidewalls (5, 11) attached in the region of the tyre beads, wherein the sidewalls (5, 11) are turned up laterally on the tyre carcass (9, 10) by a turning-up means and the tyre carcass (9, 10) is combined with the coaxially arranged belt-tread package, wherein the turning-up means is arranged rotatably on a coupling element (7, 8), which is arranged on the drum shaft and is mounted in the axial direction and coaxially in relation to the drum shaft and is moved by an external drive in the axial direction, which drive is arranged outside the drum shaft of the shaping drum, g) completing the tyre blank by further steps.
