The manufacturing method of the pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the base ring is made of a resin. The present disclosure relates to a manufacturing method of a pneumatic tire.Heretofore, in a pneumatic tire, a belt has been usually disposed on an outer side of a carcass in a tire radial direction to exert a hoop effect of fastening the carcass and to heighten a rigidity of a tread (e.g., Patent Literature 1).In recent years, demand for weight reduction of a tire has risen, and it has therefore been suggested that a wire coated with a coating resin is used as a belt. By use of such a resin-coated belt, the above function of the belt can be exerted while achieving the weight reduction, because the resin has a high rigidity for its weight.PTL 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1998-035220In a case where a resin-coated belt is used in a pneumatic tire, however, a tire circumferential rigidity sharply changes in a tire width direction and a ...
