METHOD OF MANUFACTURING PNEUMATIC TIRE

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. Powder 8 of 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 powder 8 and bond the powder 8 to the inner surface of the tire, thereby forming an inner liner layer 7.
