Abstract
A tire conveying apparatus includes a conveyor for conveying a tire, a position sensor, and a controller for controlling the conveyor. The controller includes a determination unit which determines whether or not the tire is positioned within an allowable area for a reference area set in a conveyance path of the conveyor, based on a detection result of the position sensor, and a center conveyor control unit which drives the conveyor such that the tire is positioned within the allowable area, if a determination that the tire is not positioned within the allowable area is made.
