- the sector mold 51 of the mold 50 was moved away from the tire 1B, and the mold pin 60 was removed from the driving hole 40. At times, the number of driving holes 40 in which cracks occurred was counted.
- the number of vulcanized tires 1B is 20. 120 driving holes 40 are formed for one tire 1B.
- the number of driving holes 40 close to the boundary portion 70 for one tire 1B is 32. Therefore, the total number of driving holes 40 close to the boundary portion 70 is 640 (32 ⁇ 20).
- the mold pin 60 provided in the sector mold 51 includes an end mold pin 60A and an intermediate mold pin 60B.
- the first outer diameter D61a of the end mold pin 60A is 0.3 mm larger than the first outer diameter D61b of the intermediate mold pin 60B.
- the second outer diameter D62a of the end mold pin 60A is 0.5 mm smaller than the second outer diameter D62b of the intermediate mold pin 60B.
- the length H60a of the end mold pin 60A is 0.2 mm smaller than the length H60b of the intermediate mold pin 60B.
- Example 2 it was confirmed that cracks were generated around 30 implantation holes 40 out of 640 implantation holes 40.
- Example 2 it was confirmed that cracks were generated around 10 of the 640 driving holes 40.
- Example 2 it was confirmed that cracks occurred around the seven driving holes 40 out of the 640 driving holes 40.
- Example 3 it was confirmed that cracks occurred around the three driving holes 40 out of the 640 driving holes 40.
