Tire initiated vehicle control system

A tire initiated vehicle control system for automobile type vehicles having vehicle components including a power train, a steering mechanism, a plurality of wheel brake mechanisms, one wheel brake mechanism at each wheel position, a fuel or vehicle speed throttle with or without a cruise control system, four or more pneumatic tires, and a vehicle suspension system, the vehicle control system comprising:

• a tire pressure detection device;
• a control means for receiving data from the tire pressure detection device, the control means processes the received data and upon a preset pressure or rate of change value in tire pressure, the control means directs a change in the response rate of one or more of the following vehicle components, the power train, the steering mechanism, the plurality of wheel brake mechanisms, the fuel or vehicle speed throttle or the vehicle suspension system;
• and
• wherein a present pressure or rate of change value causes activation of the control means to adjust the vehicle weight balance shifting the mass center directly away from the wheel position signaling the preset pressure or rate of change value has been triggered.

• and
• wherein a present pressure or rate of change value causes activation of the control means to adjust the steering mechanism response rate lowering the wheel movement inversely proportional to steering input.

• and
• wherein a preset pressure or rate of change value causes an activation of the control means to disengage the cruise control system.
