A tire inspection and preparation device for automobile racing tires is a self contained unit which can be conveniently transported and used at a race track or other location for measuring the circumference, run out, and wear of an automobile tire or for preparing the surface of the tire. The tire inspection and preparation device includes a mount having a rotatable member for rotating the tire while supported by the mount. The mount further includes an elongated member for elevating the tire above the ground. Leveling pads can be used to adjust the position of the tire for substantially balancing the tire for providing accurate measurements. Several tools may be interchangeably attached to the mount and used for performing several tasks, such as a contact wheel and encoder for accurately measuring circumference, a dial indicator for measuring run out, or a preparation tool for cleaning debris from the tire or scuffing the surface of the tire. A motor can be connected to the rotatable member and to the preparation tool for automating and improving the efficiency of the process.
