Abstract
Provided is a method of manufacturing a pneumatic tire which enables an inner liner layer made of a thermoplastic resin or a thermoplastic elastomer composition to be formed without decreasing the productivity and deterioration the working environment. Powderof a thermoplastic resin or a thermoplastic elastomer composition having an average particle diameter of not more than 1 mm is sprayed and adhered onto the inner surface of an uncured tire or a cured tire. Thereafter, the inner surface of the tire is heated under pressure so as to thermally fuse the powderand bond the powderto the inner surface of the tire, thereby forming an inner liner layer
