Method for making pneumatic and tire with foam noise damper or an electronic device

A pneumatic tire (10) and a method of manufacturing such a tire is disclosed. The tire (10) comprises two spaced beads, a tread portion (13), a pair of sidewalls extending radially inward from the axial outer edges of the tread portion (13) to join respective beads, the axial outer edges of the tread portion (13) defining a tread width, a carcass (12), and at least one foamed structure (18) disposed radially inwardly of the carcass (12). The foamed structure (18) comprises a preferably co-vulcanized foamed rubber composition having a density ranging from 0.1 to 1 g/cm 3 and an abraded surface (19). The tire further comprises a foam noise damper (22) and/or an electronic device disposed on the abraded surface (19).
