Abstract: A device for the X-ray examination of motor vehicle tires comprises a conveyor for conveying the tires into, and out of, an X-ray examination device, in which the tires are held in examination positions, are set in rotation and are penetrated by X-rays from within outwards thereof by means of an X-ray tube arrangement, having an X-ray receiver for observing the tire regions which have been penetrated by the X-rays, and a monitor apparatus for optical representation and evaluation of the penetrated tire regions. For improved output of examined tires the X-ray examination device comprises at least two X-ray examination units laterally adjacent to the conveyor. The X-ray receiver is constructed so as to be capable of being moved alternately from one examination unit to the other examination unit, for examination of a tire in one examination unit, while at the same time an examined tire is unloaded from the other examination unit and a fresh tire is loaded thereinto.
