Abstract
In order to assure excellent molding of the tire at the place of the markings appearing on the side wall of a tire, the shell of the mold has cutouts which correspond to the shape of the marking, the cutouts containing removable closures which admit material for molding the markings while permitting venting of the cutout. In one embodiment the removable closure is an insert which slides in the cutout. It is possible to adjust the relief of the marking. Venting is assured by the clearance between the insert and the cutout.
