A method of making a tire carcass is described. The method includes providing a first and second bead; aligning the first and second bead in parallel relationship to each other, and aligning the centers of each bead on a central axis; winding a strip of ply about the first and second bead so that the strip of ply extends between the beads in parallel relationship to the central axis forming a first stage tire carcass having two layers of ply. The method results in a tire having a carcass formed of a dual wrapped ply that is continuous in nature.
