Abstract
A tire uniformity testing apparatus () measures uniformity of a tire (T) by measuring a load generated on the tire (T) pressed against a rotating rotary drum (). A load model used to control a pressing position of the rotary drum () and express a relation between the pressing position of the tire (T) against the rotary drum () and a tire load generated in the tire (T) is configured to successively measure the tire load, while changing the pressing position of the tire (T) against the rotary drum (), and to estimate the tire load using the measured value of the measured tire load.
