Provided is a tire vulcanizing method enabling an optimum vulcanization operation for each tire by measuring the temperatures of the inner surface and the outer surface of a tire until the demolding timing without damaging the tire and by determining the vulcanized state of the tire accurately based on the measured temperature data to efficiently produce uniformly vulcanized tires especially under conditions where the temperature of a mold fluctuates. During vulcanization of a tire G, the temperatures of the inner surface and the outer surface at a plurality of principal portions representing the tire G are measured, and the demolding timing is determined according to the equivalent degree of vulcanization indicating the degree of progress in crosslinking reaction calculated based on the temperature data measured.

Provided are: a tire including: a tire frame; and a reinforcing metal cord member that is wound at least on the outer circumference of the tire frame, wherein at least a portion of the reinforcing metal cord member is coated with a coating composition via an adhesion layer that contains a polyamide-based adhesive and has a melting point of from 160 C. to 200 C., the coating composition containing at least one thermoplastic material selected from polyamide-based thermoplastic resins having a melting point of from 160 C. to 240 C. and polyamide-based thermoplastic elastomers having a melting point of from 160 C. to 240 C.; and a method of producing the same.

A device for the post-treatment of vulcanized tires having an improved frame construction, which is made possible in particular by the use of pneumatic drives and a mechanical interlock of the stations. The post-treatment device has at least one station for post-treatment of a tire and at least one support gas supply device that subjects the tire in the station to a pressure from the inside, the device having exactly one support column.

A tire conicity correction device has a base member on which a tire is horizontally placed with a tire axial direction coincident with a vertical direction, a heater configured to heat the base member, and a tire side support surface provided on the base member to support a side outer surface of the tire. The tire side support surface includes a first curved surface curved along a profile of the side outer surface of the tire.
