The invention provides a tire performance testing apparatus capable of reproducing conditions in which a tire runs on an actual road having a pothole, that is, conditions in which a tire hits a projection after moving in the air. The tire performance testing apparatus (1) according to the present invention includes a tire running surface (2), a projection installing surface (3) disposed on the front side of the end (25) of the tire running surface (2) in the traveling direction (F) of a vehicle traveling on the tire running surface (2) and positioned lower than the end (25) of the tire running surface (2), and a projection (4) disposed on the projection installing surface (3) in such a manner as to protrude upward from the projection installing surface (3). And the distance between the end (25) of the tire running surface (2) and the projection (4) is so set that the tire of a vehicle traveling on the tire running surface (2) hits the projection (4) after getting airborne away from the end (25) of the tire running surface (2). |
