Abstract: An on-board vehicle diagnostic system includes sensors for detecting vehicle operating parameters, such as speed, wheel speed, yaw rate, transverse acceleration, and/or tire operating parameters, such as the tire inflation pressure and the temperature at the belt edge. Relationships between the parameters are stored in a diagnostic model so that depending on the complexity level of the system and performance requirements, predictions regarding the wear condition of the tire and/or defective vehicle adjustments are possible.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire mountable of the rim of a vehicle wheel has a toroidal structure including a pair of beads for receipt on the rim of a vehicle wheel such that the pneumatic tire is secured to the vehicle wheel for rotation therewith.
