Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To mold a tire having a tread in which land parts on both sides of a channel are connected to each other by a connection element to form a connection part communicating in the longitudinal direction of the channel with a channel bottom without cutting the connection element. SOLUTION: When a green tire is packed in a mold 10 and expanded while the tip of the projected part 26A of the first rotation member 26 and the tip of the projected part 46A of the second rotation member 46 are made to contact each other in a recessed part 20 for forming the connection part, unvulcanized rubber 50 is adhered to a tread forming surface 12. After vulcanization, when the tire is removed from the mold 10, as shown in Fig. 5(B), the connection element 102 for connecting blocks to each other presses the projected part 26A and the projected part 46A to rotate them in the arrow direction. The tip of the projected part 26A and the tip of the projected part 46A are separated from each other, and the connection element 102 is drawn out through the clearance between the tips without being cut.
