Abstract
A method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire may include lap-splicing end parts of a laminate sheet in which a sheet obtained from a thermoplastic resin or a thermoplastic resin composition of a thermoplastic resin blended with an elastomer is laminated with a rubber that undergoes vulcanizing adhesion with the thermoplastic resin or the thermoplastic resin composition. After the sheet obtained from the thermoplastic resin or the thermoplastic resin composition is cut into lengths to be supplied for lap-splicing, and at a stage before tire vulcanization molding, distal end parts of the sheet obtained from the thermoplastic resin or the thermoplastic resin composition are sharpened with a thermal treatment.
