ABSTRACT:
Tire cutting apparatus comprises first and second tire locating members, a tire cutter on one of the tire locating members and a tire drive. The tire locating members are relatively moveable between a loading position, in which the members are separated to allow location of a tire therebetween and a cutting position, in which the first tire locating member engages an inner surface of a tire and the second tire locating member engages an outer surface of a tire. With the tire locating members in the cutting position the cutter cuts through a portion of the tire between the members and the tire drive effects relative movement of the cutter and the tire to produce a circumferential cut in the tire and thus cut the tire into two separate parts. The cut is preferably located around the tread of the tire such that the two separate halves may be stacked, one inside the other.
