Method for measurement, storage and provision of key tire data of a motor vehicle

A method for measurement, storage, and provision of key tire data of a motor vehicle tire, the method comprising the steps of:

• storing all key tire data measured over the period of the use of a tire in a memory unit in said tire,
• determining a current tire mileage performance,
• adding the current tire mileage performance to an existing stored overall mileage performance and storing a resulting new overall mileage performance in the memory unit,
• transmitting the stored key tire data and the overall tire mileage performance to a vehicle-side evaluation unit,
• and obtaining the energy required for operation of the memory unit from an energy generator within said tire.

A motor vehicle tire, comprising:

• an electronic unit comprising a memory unit for storing all key tire data measured over the period of the use of a tire,
• means for determining a current tire mileage performance,
• means for adding the current tire mileage performance to an existing stored overall mileage performance and for storing a resulting new overall mileage performance in the memory unit,
• a transmitter coupled with said electronic unit for transmitting the stored key tire data and the overall tire mileage performance to a vehicle-side evaluation unit,
• an energy generator within said tire coupled with said electronic unit.
