PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow tires to be mounted/demounted to/from a plurality of tire test apparatuses, by a single tire mounting/demounting apparatus and allow the center of a tire wheel to be easily aligned with an axis of a spindle of the tire test apparatus, thereby minimizing the load on a worker. SOLUTION: A support section for supporting an arm of the tire mounting/demounting apparatus is made to move in the lateral direction along a rail, thereby allowing to widen the area for tire-mounting/demounting and adapt to a plurality of tire test apparatuses. The support section is allowed to turn, thereby allowing to use wide space on the opposite side of the rail. A positioning member is provided at the tip of the arm, to be fitted into the spindle of the tire test apparatus, thereby allowing the center of the tire wheel to be readily aligned with the spindle axis. The tire wheel is allowed to slide in the longitudinal direction of the arm, thereby allowing the worker to mount/demount the tire wheel, without supporting it and the load on the worker can be reduced.
