1. An apparatus for detecting a tire deformation of a vehicle tire, comprising:
- a tire pressure sensor for sensing a tire pressure;
a signal processor configured to provide a signal indicating the tire deformation based on a difference between the tire pressure at a first time and the tire pressure at a second time.

Abstract
An apparatus for detecting a tire deformation of a vehicle tire includes a tire pressure sensor for sensing a tire pressure, a signal processor configured to provide a signal indicating the tire deformation based on a difference between the tire pressure at a first time and the tire pressure at a second time. What is achieved thereby is that a tire deformation may efficiently be sensed.
