A method for producing a tread for a tire having a plurality of contacting elements delimited by a plurality of grooves and a connecting member intended to connect two side faces of adjacent contacting elements , the method comprises at least the steps of: (a) depositing at least one connecting member on a surface of an unvulcanized green tread , (b) introducing the unvulcanized green tread with the connecting member into a mold having at least one molding element having a plurality of ribs for forming the groove on the tread , at least two rib side faces for forming frontal side faces and/or lateral side faces of the contacting element and a molding surface for forming a contact face of the contacting element intended to come into contact with ground during rolling, at least one rib having at least one notching portion receiving a guiding member which has two opposite side faces configured to form a part of the side faces of the contacting element and a top face configured to form a bottom of the groove and is made of a material different from a material constituting the molding element whose modulus at 10% elongation being lower than that of the molding element , the guiding member comprising a guiding slit extending from one of the two opposite side faces to the other of the two opposite side faces through the guiding member and opening to the top face and extending radially toward the molding surface so as to receive the connecting member , (c) moving the connecting member to a predetermined position in the guiding slit through the guiding slit by green tread , (d) molding and vulcanizing the green tread with the connecting member in the mold, and (e) taking a molded and vulcanized tread out from the mold. (a) depositing at least one connecting member on a surface of an unvulcanized green tread , (b) introducing the unvulcanized green tread with the connecting member into a mold having at least one molding element having a plurality of ribs for forming the groove on the tread , at least two rib side faces for forming frontal side faces and/or lateral side faces of the contacting element and a molding surface for forming a contact face of the contacting element intended to come into contact with ground during rolling, at least one rib having at least one notching portion receiving a guiding member which has two opposite side faces configured to form a part of the side faces of the contacting element and a top face configured to form a bottom of the groove and is made of a material different from a material constituting the molding element whose modulus at 10% elongation being lower than that of the molding element , the guiding member comprising a guiding slit extending from one of the two opposite side faces to the other of the two opposite side faces through the guiding member and opening to the top face and extending radially toward the molding surface so as to receive the connecting member , (c) moving the connecting member to a predetermined position in the guiding slit through the guiding slit by green tread , (d) molding and vulcanizing the green tread with the connecting member in the mold, and (e) taking a molded and vulcanized tread out from the mold. <EOS>
