Abstract: A tire conveying apparatus includes a conveyor for conveying a tire, a position sensor, and a controller for controlling the conveyor. The controller includes a determination unit which determines whether or not the tire is positioned within an allowable area for a reference area set in a conveyance path of the conveyor, based on a detection result of the position sensor, and a center conveyor control unit which drives the conveyor such that the tire is positioned within the allowable area, if a determination that the tire is not positioned within the allowable area is made.

Abstract: A tire holding apparatus is provided with a first support part for supporting a tire, a second support part for supporting the tire, and an air supply and removal part for supplying and removing air from the inside of the tire. The second support part has a protrusion that protrudes toward the first support part. The air supply and removal part has a first flow path for allowing air to flow, a second flow path for allowing air to flow from an opening formed at the leading end of the protrusion to the inside of the tire, and a collection part that is attached to the opening and collects foreign matter that has been mixed into the second flow path from the inside of the tire.

Abstract: In a tire removal processing, a clamping step and a tire removing step are executed. In the clamping step, a tire is clamped by an upper support and a lower support by bringing the lower support into contact with a lower side wall of the tire in a state where a lower rim is fitted in the tire and the upper support is in contact with an upper side wall of the tire. In the tire removing step, the tire is detached from the lower rim by relatively moving the lower rim vertically downward with respect to a lower support while the clamping step is maintained.
