Abstract

A procedure serves for the testing of tires by means of a testing system. The testing system includes a memory in which geometric data (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) of the tire (7) are stored, and at least one probe (8) for testing the tire (7) surface. To improve on such a device, the probe or probes (8) are positioned with due consideration for the geometric data (1-6) of the tire (7) for the testing of the tire (7) surface (FIG. 1).
