Abstract
A tire liner applier and method wherein a die and anvil shape the ends of the liner at a predetermined section which is transferred to a position adjacent the tire building drum where the section is stretched and the trailing end stitched against the drum. The leading end is clamped and applied to the drum where the next tire is built. The leading end and trailing end are tapered so that they slope away from the drum and provide a smooth transition where the ends contact the drum and outer layer of liner material. A butt splice may also be provided.
