A rim mounting mechanism for a tire uniformity machine has on the side of upper and lower spindles thereof an upper rim and a lower rim to be fitted in bead portions of a tire, respectively, and arranged to lift up the tire by a tire transfer means, grip the tire from the upper and lower sides thereof by means of the upper and lower rims and rotate the tire T about its axis by rotation of the upper spindle about the axis thereof. The rim mounting mechanism includes a rim assembly transfer device delivering a rim assembly R, formed by assembling together an upper rim, a lower rim and a lower spindle at a place outside the machine, to a position above the tire transfer device and in vertical alignment with the axis of the upper spindle and to dismantle a tested tire from the machine at a position immediately beneath the upper spindle.
