Abstract
A method of installing an electronic device in a tire comprises affixing an electronic device to a cellular insert member to create a sub-assembly, the insert member having an inward surface operably configured for attachment to an inward facing tire surface defining a tire cavity; and attaching the sub-assembly to the inward facing tire surface. The electronic device may be embedded into the cellular insert member between raised regions of the cellular insert member. The inward cavity facing tire surface is located at the tire centerline and the cellular insert member comprises an elongate foam strip dimensioned to attach to the inward facing tire surface along the tire centerline. The sub-assembly may be transported to the tire during an assembly sequence in a roll with the electronic device situated through the insert member in an accessible location proximate to a free end of the roll.
