Abstract
Mold assemblies for curing non-pneumatic tires include first and second mold sections that are axially displaceable relative to one another. A primary conductive heat source is in thermal communication with the mold sections. One radiative heat source is supported on the first mold section and another radiative heat source is supported on the second mold section. A non-pneumatic tire is positioned with the mold assembly between the radiative heat sources. Tire curing systems including such mold assemblies and methods of manufacturing nonpneumatic tires are also included.
