Abstract
A manufacturing method of a rubber member for a tire includes a winding step in which a rubber strip is spirally winding and overlapping around a surface of a to-be wound body, thereby forming a tire rubber member around which the rubber strip is overlapped. A plurality of air-vent grooves are formed on at least one of surfaces of the rubber strip. Each air-vent groove extends at an angle θ of 20 to 90° with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rubber strip, the maximum groove width of the air-vent groove is 0.3 to 3.0 mm, and the maximum groove depth thereof is 0.1 to 3.0 mm.
