Abstract

A measuring apparatus for the uniformity and/or the dynamic-balance of a tire is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a supporting member which is rotated with supporting a tested tire, a holding member which holds said supporting member with allowing to vibrate during rotation thereof and a regulating system which prevents the vibration of the supporting member during rotation thereof. The vibration of the supporting member is prevented by the regulating system for a uniformity measurement while it is allowed during a dynamic-balance measurement.
