Abstract: Process and apparatus for mounting or demounting a vehicular pneumatic tire comprises positioning the tire beads within the inner circumference of a wheel during mounting of the tire. Beads are removed from within the interior of the wheel rim when the tire is demounted. The tire beads are subject to elastic deformation in order to reduce the bead diameter which then enables positioning of the bead within the interior of the wheel rim or removal of the bead from within the rim interior.
