2. Description of the Related Art In general, a tire vulcanization mold is used to remove air between an unvulcanized tire (green tire) and the mold during vulcanization and gas generated during vulcanization. A large number of vent holes (hereinafter referred to as vent holes) called vent holes are formed.

When vulcanization is performed with air or gas generated during vulcanization remaining between the unvulcanized tire and the mold, a recess is formed on the tire surface due to air accumulation or gas accumulation. This is the cause of product tire failure (generally referred to as light failure).

[0005] Therefore, the spew S formed on the surface of the tire W after vulcanization molding, especially on the tread portion Wa, is removed by a dedicated machine or the like for the purpose of improving the appearance of the tire. The inside diameter of the vent hole is reduced for the purpose of facilitating the removal of sulfur and improving the appearance.

However, if the diameter of the vent hole is reduced and the diameter of the spew S formed on the surface of the tire W is reduced, the tire W is released from the mold after vulcanization. At this time, the tensile strength of the spew S is insufficient with respect to the coefficient of friction with the inner surface of the vent hole, and the spew S is cut off from the middle when releasing the tire, and a part of the spew S remains in the vent hole. As a result, the vent holes are clogged, and air or gas generated during vulcanization is not discharged during vulcanization, and the above-described tire light failure occurs.
