The paper deals with the experimental measurement of the tyre casing defects for the freight vehicles at the dynamic loading. The given investigation was mainly focused on cracks and defects in tyre casing, which is commonly used for freight vehicles. The mentioned measurement or investigation was performed under the strictly specified conditions. The given measurement of crack propagation in car tyre casing was based on changes of speed, changes of loading as well as changes of service time interval. It is important to point out that the pressure in the tyre was predetermined to be the constant value. The experimental procedures were carried out by help of special drum testing machine with designation: IGTT 25 kN – C and with the 1707 mm drum diameter. The mentioned measurement was performed for the area of tyre casing shoulder and it was in the site between the first and the second buffer lining. Using the ITT-1 program relating to non-destructive testing analyser, the CCD camera for testing procedure of tyre casing was used for the camera images which were taken from the internal side of the tyre casing.
