ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for mounting pneumatic vehicle tires, the beads of which have pull and compression resistant bead cores, with the beads, in the mounted state of the tire, being disposed on the radially inner periphery of a wheel rim next to the essentially radially inwardly extending rim flanges of the latter. A mounting mechanism is brought into contact with the peripheral region of a tire bead portion that has been introduced into the rim. The mounting mechanism is introduced in such a way that a first section of the mounting mechanism rests against the tire axially outwardly of the rim flange, while a second section of the mounting mechanism rests against the tire at the level of the rim flange and/or axially inwardly of the rim flange. These two sections of the mounting mechanism define an angle of 80.degree. to 120.degree. relative to one another. While the introduced tire bead portion is held in place against the rim, the mounting mechanism is guided along the periphery of the tire. After the tire and rim have been turned over, the procedure is repeated for the other bead of the tire.
