A process is disclosed for producing a vehicular pneumatic tire, in which, in order to produce and apply a preferably unvulcanized tread strip to a partial tire, which already has a cambered carcass and a ply packet radially outward therefrom, at least two strips of material, each consisting of a mixture of rubber andor plastic, are applied to the partial tire. An auxiliary layer comprising a high density metallic compound and an emission layer are formed by a laser induced thermal imaging process. The distance indicator may be electronic communication with the measurement device to display the linear distance between the down marker and the second marker thereon. To each boiler sector at least one separate distributor is assigned. The device has a passivation layer comprising boron oxide.
