Tire and tire sensor

A vehicle tire, comprising:

• a tread portion;
• a sidewall portion;
• and
• a sensor module for estimating one or more parameters of the tire, the sensor module comprising:
• a detector patch comprising one or more capacitors, each of which has an electrostatic capacity that is variable due to at least deformation of each capacitor;
• and
• an electronics unit connected to each capacitor and configured to control the sensor module;
• wherein:
• the detector patch is adhered to an inside of at least one of the tread portion or the sidewall portion;
• at least one of the capacitors is located on the inside of the at least one of the tread portion or the sidewall portion;
• and
• the electronics unit is configured to estimate at least one of the parameters based on the electrostatic capacity of each capacitor;
• wherein:
• a first capacitor of the one or more capacitors has a length and a width;
• the length exceeds the width;
• the one or more capacitors comprise at least a first capacitor and a second capacitor;
• a major axis direction of the first capacitor is oriented in a different direction than a major axis direction of the second capacitor;
• and
• the major axis direction of the first capacitor is oriented orthogonally to the major axis direction of the second capacitor.
