1. An apparatus for detecting an internal mechanical failure of a tire that is attached to a wheel of a vehicle while the vehicle is traveling, including:

  • an information acquiring part for acquiring tire information on the tire during rotating while the vehicle is traveling;

    a deriving part for deriving a deformation amount of a contact-portion of the tire based on the tire information, the contact-portion being in contact with the ground;

    a calculating part for calculating an evaluation value based on the derived deformation amount; and

    a determining part for comparing the calculated evaluation value with a reference value to determine whether or not the internal mechanical failure has occurred in the tire.
