Abstract

A tire testing machine has two spaced parallel diamond shaped support structures. On each support structure, a road wheel and two tire carriages are mounted. A motor is mounted on each support structure and drivably connected to the road wheel. Pistons and cylinders are mounted between the support structures and the carriages to drive the carriages toward and away from the road wheel to force the tire carried on the carriage against the road wheel.
