Abstract
A method of building a tire in a mold having a mold core and a cavity between the mold core and the inner walls of the mold, the cavity defining tread, sidewa1l, and bead areas of the tire. A flexible mesh fabric is tied to the mold core by tying together corresponding ends of strings running through respective edges of the fabric extending around respective sides of the core. The fabric serves as a spacer between a radial reinforcement and an inner surface of the tire. The fabric is placed on the core such that it remains in spaced relation to the bead ring area of the tire. The tire body is formed of a castable or sprayable elastomer.
