The tire mold comprises lowerand upper portionswhich are movable relative to one another between a close-together position for molding the tire and a distanced position for extracting said tire from the mold, and a plurality of central sectorswhich are in axial contact with the lowerand upper portionsin their close-together molding position. For each sector, the mold comprises an upper memberfor permanently coupling said sector to the upper portion, and a lower memberfor temporarily coupling said sector to the lower portion, said coupling membersbeing configured so as to obtain, during an axial distancing movement of the lowerand upper portionsfrom their close-together molding position, a radial displacement of said sectortoward the outside followed by an angular pivoting.
