Abstract
A tire module for detecting tire condition variables, the module being mounted on an inside of a tire in an area deformed during tread shuffle and including at least one carrier, on which at least one electronic component is disposed, and at least one piezo-sensitive sensor, the piezo-sensitive sensor being disposed such that it is at least partially deformed during deformation of the tire during tread shuffle, and the deformation of the piezo-sensitive sensor being used to determine at least one shuffle variable, and the tire module including at least one battery for at least partially supplying energy to the at least one electronic component, and to use of the tire module.

16. A tire module for detecting tire condition variables, which tire module is configured to be mounted on an inner side of a tire in an area which is deformed during tread shuffle,
said tire module comprising at least one carrier means on which at least one electronic component is arranged, and at least one piezo-sensitive sensor, wherein the piezo-sensitive sensor is arranged in such a way that, when the tire is deformed during tread shuffle, said piezo-sensitive sensor is at least partially deformed, and wherein the deformation of the piezo-sensitive sensor is used to determine at least one shuffle characteristic variable, wherein the tire module further comprises at least one battery for at least partially supplying power to the at least one electronic component.
