The invention concerns a method and apparatus for mounting a tire on a rim to form a motor vehicle wheel and for demounting a tire from a rim with at least one fitting or removal tool. Images of the wheel (14) or the rim (12) are created by a vision system (21) and corresponding signals are sent to a computer (18, 28). Commands to move the at least one fitting or removal tool (16) are sent to the at least one fitting or removal tool (16) by the computer (18, 30), the signals of the vision system (21) and the commands sent to the at least one fitting or removal tool (16) are correlated to define the position of the at least one fitting or removal tool relative to the rim contour, and the movement of the at least one fitting or removal tool (16) is guided in dependence on the performed correlation without contacting the rim surface.
