Curing Mold Assemblies For Non-Pneumatic Tires As Well As Methods Of Manufacture

Mold assemblies used for curing non-pneumatic tires include a mold section and curing shoe assemblies supported on the mold section. The curing shoe assemblies include an actuation cup supported on the mold section in radially-offset alignment with a mold axis. First and second curing shoes are spaced laterally from the actuation cup and are operatively connected thereto by actuation members. Fluid pressure generates movement of the actuation members away from one another, which displaces the first and second curing shoes laterally away from one another. Methods of manufacturing a non-pneumatic tire are also included.
