An adjustable tire mounting apparatus can be universally used to assemble various types of wheels and tires to each other. The apparatus includes a cone restricting movement of a wheel, a housing rotatable about the cone, a horizontal distance adjusting unit that adjusts a position of a horizontal movable body with respect to the housing in the radial direction, a vertical distance adjusting unit that adjusts a position of a vertical movable body with respect to the horizontal movable body in the vertical direction, a pressure roller disposed on the vertical movable body that presses a sidewall of a tire, expansion rollers that are disposed on the horizontal movable body and guide the bead of the tire to enter a rim of the wheel, and a control unit that controls operation of the horizontal and vertical distance adjusting units, depending on the types of the tire and wheel.
