The green tire formation zone has a track and a plurality of work stations arranged along the track, where a green tire is formed by assembling a tire constituent member to an outer surface of a rigid core moving on the track at each of the work stations. A member assembly device that forms the tire constituent member by attaching a member material set for each of the tire constituent members to a surface of the rigid core, under an attachment condition determined according to size of the rigid core. The member assembly devices being arranged at an outer peripheral side of the square-cornered U-shaped bending track and along the lateral track parts. The material storage zone is arranged adjacent to one lateral side of the square-cornered U-shaped bending track. The vulcanization zone is arranged adjacent to the other lateral side of the square-cornered U-shaped bending track. The inspection and discharge zone is arranged adjacent to the other lateral side of the vulcanization zone.
