A method of forming a retreaded tire comprising: forming an unbonded retreaded tire , which includes arranging a pre-cured tread annularly around an outer circumference of an annular tire carcass with a bonding layer comprising uncured bonding material arranged between the pre-cured tread and the annular tire carcass , the pre-cured tread including a pair of opposing tread edges laterally-spaced to define a width (W) of the pre-cured tread , where each tread edge of the pair of opposing tread edges together with a portion of the tread adjoining each such tread edge forms a tread edge area to provide a pair of laterally-spaced tread edge areas of the pre-cured tread and an edge bonding material is arranged between the pre-cured tread and the annular tire carcass at each of the pair of laterally-spaced tread edge areas in addition to the bonding layer along each of the pair of laterally-spaced tread edge areas where the edge bonding material is configured to bond each of the pair of laterally-spaced tread edge areas to the annular tire carcass before bonding an intermediate portion of the pre-cured tread to the annular tire carcass ; and bonding the pre-cured tread of the unbonded retreaded tire to the annular tire carcass in a curing chamber to form a bonded retreaded tire by pressurizing the curing chamber and sufficiently heating the curing chamber using a chamber heating source to cure the bonding layer of the unbonded retreaded tire while the unbonded retreaded tire is arranged in fluid communication with pressurized and heated gas contained within the curing chamber , where the step of bonding includes at least partially bonding the pair of laterally-spaced tread edge areas of the pre-cured tread , to the annular tire carcass prior to an intermediate portion of the pre-cured tread located between the pair of laterally-spaced tread edge areas of the pre-cured tread . forming an unbonded retreaded tire , which includes arranging a pre-cured tread annularly around an outer circumference of an annular tire carcass with a bonding layer comprising uncured bonding material arranged between the pre-cured tread and the annular tire carcass , the pre-cured tread including a pair of opposing tread edges laterally-spaced to define a width (W) of the pre-cured tread , where each tread edge of the pair of opposing tread edges together with a portion of the tread adjoining each such tread edge forms a tread edge area to provide a pair of laterally-spaced tread edge areas of the pre-cured tread and an edge bonding material is arranged between the pre-cured tread and the annular tire carcass at each of the pair of laterally-spaced tread edge areas in addition to the bonding layer along each of the pair of laterally-spaced tread edge areas where the edge bonding material is configured to bond each of the pair of laterally-spaced tread edge areas to the annular tire carcass before bonding an intermediate portion of the pre-cured tread to the annular tire carcass ; and bonding the pre-cured tread of the unbonded retreaded tire to the annular tire carcass in a curing chamber to form a bonded retreaded tire by pressurizing the curing chamber and sufficiently heating the curing chamber using a chamber heating source to cure the bonding layer of the unbonded retreaded tire while the unbonded retreaded tire is arranged in fluid communication with pressurized and heated gas contained within the curing chamber , where the step of bonding includes at least partially bonding the pair of laterally-spaced tread edge areas of the pre-cured tread , to the annular tire carcass prior to an intermediate portion of the pre-cured tread located between the pair of laterally-spaced tread edge areas of the pre-cured tread . <EOS>
