ABSTRACT:
A tire-mounting apparatus for mounting a tire having two beads on a rim in a tire/rim assembly where the rim has two opposed flanges that are bent radially inwards to define a drop center, and where the beads of the tire extend over the rim and are located behind the rim flanges in the drop center. The apparatus includes a base on which a rim-mounting adaptor is rotatably mounted. A clamp is used to retain the beads of the tire on the rim. A mounting tool forces one of the tire beads over one of the rim flanges. The mounting tool is rotatably driven to move the tire and the rim so that the one tire bead is rolled over the one rim flange into the drop center of the rim.
