Abstract

An improved tire building method is provided whereby the nonwicking finishing strip is placed on the building drum first before the remaining components are applied to the drum. Once the carcass plies and the bead core are positioned on the drum, the finishing strip is turned up around the bead core to effectively seal off the inflation chamber of the tire. The method of this invention is especially useful for tires built on flat cylindrical drums.
