Things that are needed while curing tires are: Tire Mold: It is a mold made of metal. It can be separated into two or more parts and the mold is brought back to its original state by inserting the green tire into it. It is green tire. The components used in tire manufacturing such as bead, rubber ply, steel belt etc. are joined together to give a basic shape of tire. The green tire remains in the mold during curing. Green tires have soft rubber. It is tire curing bladder. Made of rubber. During curing, the bladder is inserted into the green tire. The tire curing process is done in a tire curing press.
