As shown in FIG.
After chucking the tire 3 to be inspected between the upper and lower rims 1 and 2, the tire 3 to be inspected is rotated around the tire spindle 4 with the internal pressure applied, and a pair of upper and lower non-contact sensors 5
Thus, the unevenness of the sidewall portion of the non-inspection tire 3 is detected. Further, since the non-contact type sensor 5 is used, the distance between the non-inspection tire 3 and the sensor 5 must be kept constant at the time of measurement.
The sensor 5 is provided movably in the width direction and the radial direction so that the sensor 5 can always be set at a constant distance even if the outer diameter and width of the sensor 5 change. That is, each sensor 5 is attached to the sensor arm 6 and can be adjusted in the width direction (vertical direction) by forward / reverse rotation of the adjusting screw 9 driven by the motor 8 via the belt 7. The sensor 5, the adjusting screw 9, etc. are slide base
The slide base 10 is mounted, and its slide base 10 can be adjusted in the radial direction by an adjusting screw 13 driven by a motor 12 via a belt 11.

When comparing the above-mentioned tire unevenness inspection device with the tire uniformity machine, the former is a tire load by the road wheel 15, a tire driving device, a tire driving device, a tire conveying device (not shown), a tire loading device, and a detecting unit. Except for, the configuration is very similar to the latter. In addition, an unevenness measuring portion on the sidewall portion of the tire 3 to be inspected (a portion which is easily generated in this portion due to the structure inside the tire and which has relatively few characters and the like, and is easily measured).
And the LRO measurement section, and the unevenness measurement and the LRO measurement can be detected by the same sensor.

This conventional measuring method is shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, conventionally, after the tire 3 to be inspected is chucked by the upper and lower rims 1 and 2 (step), inflation is first performed to the test pressure P at the time of uniformity measurement (step). Next, the tire 3 to be inspected by the road wheel 15
After applying a load (step), warming up (step), and performing FV measurement (step). On the other hand, after inflation, after the sensor 17 is advanced to a predetermined position (step), RO and unevenness are measured (step). This is simultaneous with the FV measurement. After each measurement, the load is removed and the sensor 17
Is retracted (step), and after deflation (step), the tire 3 to be inspected is unchucked (step).

However, in the conventional method, since the unevenness is measured simultaneously with the measurement of the uniformity, there is a drawback that the unevenness cannot be reliably detected. That is, the unevenness of the side wall portion becomes more noticeable as the internal pressure is increased, and the detection becomes easy.However, since the measurement of the uniformity is conventionally performed simultaneously with the measurement of the uniformity, the tire internal pressure at the time of the uniformity measurement is determined according to the JASO C607 standard. Therefore, there is a problem that unevenness measurement must be performed at the internal pressure, and therefore, a sufficient measurement result cannot be obtained.

(Means for Solving the Problems) According to the present invention, a pressure higher than the uniformity measurement pressure is applied when internal pressure is introduced into the tire 3 to be inspected, which is chucked between the upper and lower rims 1 and 2. Then, the unevenness of the sidewall portion of the tire 3 to be inspected is measured, and thereafter, the internal pressure of the tire 3 to be inspected is adjusted to the uniformity measurement pressure to measure the uniformity.

When chucking of the tire 3 to be inspected is completed (step), inflation for introducing an internal pressure into the tire 3 to be inspected is first performed (step). This inflation is set to a pressure higher than the tire uniformity measurement pressure P in order to remarkably generate the unevenness of the sidewall portion of the tire 3 to be inspected. When the high-pressure inflation ends, the sensor 17 is advanced (step), and then the unevenness of the tire 3 is measured by the sensor 17 (step). Therefore, since the unevenness is significantly generated due to the high pressure inflation, the unevenness can be reliably detected and measured. When the unevenness measurement is completed, the internal pressure of the inspected tire 3 is adjusted to the test pressure P at the time of uniformity measurement (step), and a load is applied to the inspected tire 3 by the load wheel 15 (step), and a predetermined warming-up is performed. After (step), the original F
