METHOD FOR PRODUCING A NON-PNEUMATIC TIRE AND NON-PNEUMATIC TIRE

A method for producing a non-pneumatic tire (10) is disclosed. The method comprises providing a shear band (22) comprising curable rubber, the shear band having a radially inner surface formed by the curable rubber; providing a connecting structure (16) for connecting the shear band (22) to a wheel hub, the connecting structure (16) comprising at least one interface part (24) made of thermoplastic elastomer material; applying an adhesive on the at least one interface part, the adhesive being or comprising an RFL adhesive or a solution of at least one of a neoalkoxy zirconate and a neoalkoxy titanate; assembling the shear band (22) and the connecting structure (16) into a composite structure, the assembling of the shear band and the connecting structure comprising bringing the at least one interface part (24) into contact with the radially inner surface of the shear band (22); and durably bonding the shear band (22) to the connecting structure (16) through a heat-treatment of the composite structure.
