1. An apparatus for supplying a tyre service person with information for statically adjusting wheels, or tyres, of a motor vehicle, comprises:

  • a data storage module with access to a database defining an operation model of a vehicle having a plurality of model parameters;

    a control module adapted toreceive a value of at least one measurement parameter correlated with the on-road behaviour of the vehicle and measured in a static condition of the vehicle on at least one of the vehicle'"'"'s wheels,set values of the model parameters according to the value measured for the measurement parameter in order to define a starting configuration of the model parameter values, andset at least one evaluation parameter correlated with the model parameters and representative of the vehicle'"'"'s on-road behaviour;

    a processing module adapted to perform one or more simulations of the on-road behaviour of the vehicle using said model, while varying the value of at least one of the model parameters correlated with a condition of the wheels adjustable by the tyre service person, in order to determine a modified configuration of model parameter values corresponding to an on-road behaviour of the vehicle that is better than the starting configuration, according to the at least one set evaluation parameter;

    a module for presenting to the tyre service person service information for adjusting said condition of the wheels according to the given modified configuration.
