Vehicle tire suitable for cooperation with a device for determining the longitudinal force acting on the tire or the tire spring travel or the footprint length or the load/pressure ratio during rotation
First Claim
1. A vehicle tire comprising a radially outer portion, said radially outer portion comprising a plurality of first marks arranged in a circular pattern on said radially outer portion, wherein a passing of said first marks is detectable by magnetic or inductive sensors, and wherein said radially outer portion is a sidewall portion of said vehicle tire.

Abstract
A vehicle tire has a plurality of first marks arranged in a circular pattern on a radially outer area of the vehicle tire. A plurality of second marks is arranged in a circular pattern on a radially inner area of the sidewall. Passing of the first and second marks is detectable by magnetic or inductive sensors. The derived signals are used to determine the longitudinal force acting on the tire or the tire spring travel or the footprint length or the load/pressure ratio during rotation of the tire.
