An automated tire inspection system employs penetrative emanation such as X-radiation to inspect the integrity of portions of tires fed sequentially along a feed path through a centering station and into a shielded enclosure which where an inspection station is defined. Features of the system include: (1) the use of a pressure regulator to control the force applied by spindles to the beads of a tire to support the tire for inspection; (2) the structures of several components including carriages, sub-carriages, and sub-sub-carriages for movably supporting an X-ray source and an X-ray imaging system, a pair of spindle support carriages which movably carry two sets of spindles, and a centering table and a main conveyor for feeding tires to the inspection station.
