A green tire rotatable in a circumferential direction about an axis of rotation comprising:
- an inner tire surface;
- an outer tire surface,
- wherein, starting from the axis of rotation, the outer tire surface lies radially further outward than the inner tire surface and the outer tire surface is oriented away from the green tire and the inner tire surface is oriented toward the axis of rotation;
- a receiving opening of a rubber region located in a rim strip region inner of a bead core of the green tire;
- a tire component comprising:
- a transmitting device and receiving device being arranged in the rubber region,
- the transmitting and receiving device being an electromagnetically acting transmitting and receiving device, and
- the transmitting and receiving device having at least one antenna, wherein the at least one antenna is arranged on a carrier device;
- the transmitting and receiving device arranged in the receiving opening.
A method for using an electromagnetically acting transmitting and receiving device in a tire component, the method comprising:
- providing a tire component;
- providing an electromagnetically acting transmitting and receiving device, wherein the transmitting and receiving device has at least one antenna and the at least one antenna is arranged on a carrier device;
- forming a receiving region in a tire under a bead core;
- introducing the electromagnetic transmitting and receiving device into the receiving region prior to vulcanization of the tire;
- vulcanizing the tire.
