Abstract
A method of highly efficiently producing pneumatic tires, wherein both bead portions (B) of a green tire (G) are supported by a pair of holders () and opposite axial ends of a bladder () are tightly attached to the holders (), respectively. The holders () are joined to each other and a fluid is supplied into the bladder (), to preliminarily inflate the bladder () within the green tire (G). The green tire (G) is transferred into a vulcanizer, together with the holders () and the preliminarily inflated bladder (). A heat medium is supplied into the bladder (), to vulcanize the green tire (G) and form a vulcanized tire (K). The preliminary inflation of the bladder () at a location outside of the vulcanizer eliminates or shortens the waiting time within the vulcanizer, thereby improving the overall work efficiency and productivity at a tire factory.
