Abstract: The tire removing machine has a resting base, a hollow support rigidly connected to the base and provided with a supporting flange for supporting motor vehicle wheels. A hollow securing shaft extends in the base and protrudes from the support, perpendicularly to the flange. A wheel centering and securing cone is anchored to the securing shaft outside the flange. A traction pin is rotatably accommodated in the shaft and extends beyond the centering cone where it ends in a traction head. A tool-holder bar with tool for mounting and removing a tire is at least temporarily coupled to the traction head.
