Press the push-button switch to turn on the brake 5, so that the main shaft 4 is in a free state. Manually rotate the tire 9 in the circumferential direction to the predetermined test position. Observe whether the indentation point of the indenter is in the tread groove. If so, press the corresponding push-button switch to move the main shaft 4 axially to avoid the tread groove. After confirming that the position is correct, press the push-button switch again to control the brake 5 to lock the position of the main shaft 4. After the tested tire 9 is installed, the test can be started. After one test point is completed, repeat the above steps to rotate the tire 9 to the next test point. After multiple-point tests are completed, the tested tire 9 can be removed from the test rim 8. The structure of the utility model is reasonable and easy to use. After the tire 9 is installed at the front end of the tire main shaft 4, the tire 9 and the main shaft 4 can be manually rotated freely or driven by a motor to expand and contract.
