    Abstract: A tire positioning method includes the following steps. Four wireless signals transmitted from four tires of a car are received by a wireless signal receiver. Each wireless signal includes a uniaxial acceleration. One of the tires which is located at a first location is identified according to the intensity of the wireless signals. The first location is the closest to the wireless signal receiver. When the car makes a turn, one of the tires which is located at a second location is identified according to the direction of each uniaxial acceleration. The second location and the first location are both located at one side of the car. The direction of the uniaxial acceleration of the tire which is located at the first location is identical to that of the tire which is at the second location.
