Method for checking tyres, each tyre having a main rotation axis (X-X) and an axial centreline plane (M), said method comprising: simultaneously advancing tyres step by step along a check path and checking said tyres during time intervals placed between subsequent steps; wherein for each of the tyres , provision is made for: ■ checking at least one first half of the tyre by executing a plurality of checks along a first part of the check path , wherein the first half is an axial half of the tyre delimited by said axial centreline plane (M); ■ overturning said tyre around an overturning axis (Z) after the exit from said first part of the check path ; ■ conducting said tyre to the inlet of a second part of the check path ; ■ checking at least one second half of said tyre by executing the same plurality of checks along said second part of the check path , wherein the second half is the other axial half of the tyre delimited by said axial centreline plane (M); characterised in that during each of said time intervals, the tyres are subjected to a plurality of successive check cycles; wherein during each of said check cycles, check tools are arranged in fixed check positions while the respective tyres rotate around respective main axes (X-X); wherein between one check cycle and the next, check tools are moved into different check positions. simultaneously advancing tyres step by step along a check path and checking said tyres during time intervals placed between subsequent steps; wherein for each of the tyres , provision is made for: ■ checking at least one first half of the tyre by executing a plurality of checks along a first part of the check path , wherein the first half is an axial half of the tyre delimited by said axial centreline plane (M); ■ overturning said tyre around an overturning axis (Z) after the exit from said first part of the check path ; ■ conducting said tyre to the inlet of a second part of the check path ; ■ checking at least one second half of said tyre by executing the same plurality of checks along said second part of the check path , wherein the second half is the other axial half of the tyre delimited by said axial centreline plane (M); characterised in that during each of said time intervals, the tyres are subjected to a plurality of successive check cycles; wherein during each of said check cycles, check tools are arranged in fixed check positions while the respective tyres rotate around respective main axes (X-X); wherein between one check cycle and the next, check tools are moved into different check positions. ■ checking at least one first half of the tyre by executing a plurality of checks along a first part of the check path , wherein the first half is an axial half of the tyre delimited by said axial centreline plane (M); ■ overturning said tyre around an overturning axis (Z) after the exit from said first part of the check path ; ■ conducting said tyre to the inlet of a second part of the check path ; ■ checking at least one second half of said tyre by executing the same plurality of checks along said second part of the check path , wherein the second half is the other axial half of the tyre delimited by said axial centreline plane (M); <EOS>
