A tire test apparatus, comprising a base, a support, a force applicator, a tire contact member in contact with a tire, a travel indicator mechanism, and a force indicator mechanism. The support extends upwardly from the base and holds a tire a predetermined distance above the base. The force applicator applies a force to cause pressure between the tire and the tire contact member. The travel indicator mechanism quantifies a change in relative positions between the tire and the tire contact member. The force indicator mechanism quantifies the force applied by the force applicator.
