Abstract

A method for manufacturing a pneumatic vehicle tire includes the step of folding the carcass ply in the overlap zone of the leading and trailing ends into at least one fold to form an overlength of the reinforcement elements in the overlap zone for preventing the constriction in the overlap zone within the vulcanized, inflated tire. Subsequently, in both methods, the green tire is completed on the building drum and the green tire is then vulcanized to produce the finished tire.
