Abstract
In indirect tire pressure monitoring of tires of a vehicle, the following steps and means to carry out the same, respectively, are contemplated: —providing a tire classification database indicating at least one classified tire type; —determining a vehicle tire type for the vehicle on the basis of vehicle data in including information on at least one tire currently used with the vehicle, —determining whether the vehicle tire type can be associated to one of the at least one classified tire type; and —in the case an association is determined, monitoring tire pressure according to the associated classified tire type.

45. A method of indirect tire pressure monitoring of tires of a vehicle, comprising:
-
providing a tire classification database indicating at least one classified tire type; determining a vehicle tire type for the vehicle on the basis of vehicle data in including information on at least one tire currently used with the vehicle; determining whether the vehicle tire type can be associated to one of the at least one classified tire type; and in the case an association is determined, monitoring tire pressure according to the associated classified tire type, wherein, determining whether the vehicle tire type can be associated to one of the at least one classified tire type fails, tire pressure monitoring is performed on the basis of at least one of a default parameter setting and a default operation mode. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49, 50)

55. A computer program product for an indirect tire pressure monitoring for detecting tire pressure deviation in tires of a vehicle, the computer program product comprising program code for carrying out, when executed on a processing system:
-
providing a tire classification database indicating at least one classified tire type; determining a vehicle tire type for the vehicle on the basis of vehicle data in including information on at least one tire currently used with the vehicle; determining whether the vehicle tire type can be associated to one of the at least one classified tire type; and in the case an association is determined, monitoring tire pressure according to the associated classified tire type, wherein, in the case determining whether the vehicle tire type can be associated to one of the at least one classified tire type fails, tire pressure monitoring is performed on the basis of at least one of a default parameter setting and a default operation mode.
