Method for connecting a sound absorber made of foam material to the tyre interior of a vehicle tyre comprising the following steps: a) arranging a layer of adhesive material on the tyre interior of the vehicle tyre, wherein at least the tyre interior between the two tyre shoulders is covered with the layer of adhesive material, b) arranging a sound absorber of a predetermined material length on a feeding unit, wherein the sound absorber is wound up helically on the feeding unit, wherein the outside diameter of the wound-up sound absorber is less than the inside diameter at the tyre bead of the vehicle tyre, c) arranging the vehicle tyre coaxially in relation to the feeding unit with the wound-up sound absorber, wherein one of the sidewalls of the vehicle tyre is held by a holding means, d) connecting a subregion of the sound absorber to the tyre interior of the vehicle tyre, wherein the subregion of the sound absorber is pressed by a pressure-applying operation firmly against the layer of adhesive material on the tyre interior, e) connecting the further regions of the sound absorber, wherein the sound absorber is continuously pressed against the tyre interior with a pressing pressure and a rotating movement, wherein the sound absorber is mounted firmly on the tyre interior of the vehicle tyre by the layer of adhesive material, f) continuing the connecting of the sound absorber and the tyre interior until the sound absorber is bonded to the tyre interior in all subregions, characterized in that the holding means is a mounting table and in steps c) to f) the vehicle tyre rests horizontally on the mounting table with movable rollers, whereby the vehicle tyre is mounted freely movably in all directions in the plane. a) arranging a layer of adhesive material on the tyre interior of the vehicle tyre, wherein at least the tyre interior between the two tyre shoulders is covered with the layer of adhesive material, b) arranging a sound absorber of a predetermined material length on a feeding unit, wherein the sound absorber is wound up helically on the feeding unit, wherein the outside diameter of the wound-up sound absorber is less than the inside diameter at the tyre bead of the vehicle tyre, c) arranging the vehicle tyre coaxially in relation to the feeding unit with the wound-up sound absorber, wherein one of the sidewalls of the vehicle tyre is held by a holding means, d) connecting a subregion of the sound absorber to the tyre interior of the vehicle tyre, wherein the subregion of the sound absorber is pressed by a pressure-applying operation firmly against the layer of adhesive material on the tyre interior, e) connecting the further regions of the sound absorber, wherein the sound absorber is continuously pressed against the tyre interior with a pressing pressure and a rotating movement, wherein the sound absorber is mounted firmly on the tyre interior of the vehicle tyre by the layer of adhesive material, f) continuing the connecting of the sound absorber and the tyre interior until the sound absorber is bonded to the tyre interior in all subregions, characterized in that the holding means is a mounting table and in steps c) to f) the vehicle tyre rests horizontally on the mounting table with movable rollers, whereby the vehicle tyre is mounted freely movably in all directions in the plane.
