Thanks for the link, KC.

Interesting to read of the chalk marks indicating the circumference.

Good work!

The process they describe is pretty much how all tyres are built,although high performance tyres,may use different mmaterials/angles for the belts and bead fillers,and depending on what type of racing,they are also built for specific tracks,having done a tour through a tyre factory,it really is quite amazing how they do it and what they look like before they go into the press.
