Patent ID: 6923879

Claim:
A method of producing a pneumatic tire for a motor vehicle, the method comprising the steps of: providing a partial tire in the form of a carcass which has been constructed to include a layer, which is as air-impermeable as possible, at least one carcass ply, horn profiles, bead cores, and a belt ply packet, the belt ply packet including a tread strip substrate and, said carcass including sides and said carcass being already shaped; applying an extruded rubber strip in the form of a spiral having several windings to said sides of said already shaped carcass to form the side wall rubber of said tire with said windings being applied so as to partially overlap or lie one next to the other whereby the application of said extruded rubber strip to said already shaped carcass permits the side wall rubber to be applied in desired layer thicknesses without pretension and without non-uniformities in contour; and, pressing the arcuate contour of the sides of the carcass at least partially flat into a form corresponding essentially to a planar disc for and during winding of the rubber strip whereby a guidance of a nozzle for said extruded rubber strip along an additional axis is avoided.
