  • Method and control device for determining a tire temperature
    Patent number: 10377192
    Abstract: A method for determining a temperature of a tire of a motor vehicle, specifically a temperature of an inner liner of the respective tire, having at least the following steps: a saturation temperature is determined for the inner liner of the respective tire as a function of an ambient temperature, as a function of a temperature of the inflation air of the respective tire and as a function of vehicle movement dynamics variables; the temperature of the inner liner of the respective tire is determined by integration as a function of the determined saturation temperature of the inner liner of the respective tire.
