A machine (1) for fitting and removing a tyre to and from a corresponding vehicle wheel rim comprises: a frame including a base (3) with a wheel-holder unit (4) designed to fix the wheel by means of a locking device and to rotate it about a first axis (A) of rotation; at least one bead breaker tool (29), which is movable along a second axis (B) parallel to the first axis; a removal tool (37); and a roller (2) rotating about an axis parallel to the first axis (A). The roller (2) is movable towards and away from the wheel-holder unit (4) along an operating trajectory between a position of noninterference with the tyre of a wheel mounted on the wheel-holder unit (4) and an active position where it applies a predetermined force to the tyre tread. A connecting structure movably connects the roller (4) to the frame (2). At least one force sensor (40) is connected to the roller (2) for measuring values of a force parameter representing a radial force transmitted to the roller (2) by the tyre. The roller (2) comprises a protective shell (39), which covers a portion of the lateral surface of the roller (2) for preventing accidents to a tyre service specialist due to contact with the roller (2) during its use.
