TIRE PRODUCTION METHOD, MOLDING SYSTEM, AND TIRE

A method of manufacturing a tire, a forming system for the tire, and the tire are provided in which, in manufacture of a tire including a reinforcing member including a reinforcing cord continuously wound a plurality of times in a tire circumferential direction or wound in the tire circumferential direction while continuously extending in a tire width direction, a possible decrease in productivity can be avoided by using the reinforcing cords without waste.A preceding carcass cord (15a) from one feeding unit (3A) is used to form a carcass layer (15) while being fed to a forming drum (2), and a leading edge portion of a next carcass cord (15b) is paid out from another feeding unit (3B) in advance. At a time when a predetermined length of the preceding carcass cord (15a) is fed, a splice mechanism (8) is used to join the leading edge portion of the next carcass cord (15b) to the preceding carcass cord (15a) to make the leading edge portion of the next carcass cord (15b) continuous with the preceding carcass cord (15a). Then, with the next carcass cord (15b) fed to the forming drum (2), formation of the carcass layer (15) is continued to complete the carcass layer (15).
