Abstract
In order to grind a tire 2 mounted on a vehicle, an abrasive belt 5 is us which is stretched over rollers 51, 52, 53, 54 and 46 which are mounted on a frame 4. By the action of a jack 7, the tire 2 is released of all load. A counterweight 45 urges the frame 4 towards the tire 2. The force with which the abrasive belt 5 rests on the tire 2 can be adjusted to a very low value.
