1. A tire condition monitoring apparatus comprising:
- a tire-based sensor configured to sense tire operating conditions and transmit a tire condition signal including the sensed tire operating conditions; and
a vehicle-based controller configured to receive the tire condition signal and monitor the tire operating conditions, wherein at least one of the sensor and the controller are configured to;
determine that a tire pressure adjustment condition exists in response to determining, based on the sensed operating conditions, that a predetermined change in the number of moles of air in the tire has taken place.
