FIELD: automotive industry. SUBSTANCE: toroidal workpiece of reinforced carcass is manufactured by spiral winding of thread or cord in order to form at least one layer on ring-shaped assembly core preliminarily coated by layer of rubber mixture. Then tyre beads are positioned. Carcass toroidal workpiece is cut over circumference from the inside. Ends of cut carcass are bent outside around tyre beads. Two halves of carcass toroidal workpiece are formed on both sides of cut. Then finishing operations are performed. Assembly core is made undeformable, monoblock and nondetachable. Profile of its meridian section at least in its side parts between points of contact with bead wings and with upper part of carcass corresponds to meridional profile of reinforced carcass internal surface by vulcanization form. Both halves of carcass toroidal workpiece are separated from each other on assembly core along axis with space by means of catching, supporting and displacement facilities with internal walls having meridional profile, at least in side parts of tyre, corresponding to meridional profile of armored carcass external layer with rubber mixture layers and profiles forming toroidal workpiece of tyre applied to it. Core is then removed, and both halves of tyre workpiece are brought together along axis and combined. EFFECT: improved quality of tyres, reduced number of assembly operations and expenses. 11 cl, 6 dwg
