Pneumatic tire and method for manufacture thereof

A method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire, the method comprising:

• an operation in which a rubber member is formed by winding a ribbon rubber in uninterrupted fashion about a rotational axis of the tire;
• wherein, at the operation in which the rubber member is formed, a parallel portion at which the ribbon rubber is parallel to a tire circumferential direction at an end toward an exterior in a tire width direction, and an inclined portion at which the ribbon rubber is inclined with respect to the tire circumferential direction in such fashion as to cause the ribbon rubber to be directed from the parallel portion toward an interior in the tire width direction, are formed;
• and
• wherein the ribbon rubber from which the parallel portion is formed is wound in the tire circumnferential direction for a wrap angle of not 360° but N ° (N=210 to 300).
