1. A method for preventing damage to tire electronics during tire inspection, comprising the steps of:

  • providing a high-voltage power supply;

    providing a tire containing at least one tire electronics device mounted directly on a surface of the tire;

    providing a conductive wire;

    coupling one end of the conductive wire to the high-voltage supply;

    configuring the other end of the conductive wire for contact with the tire; and

    providing an insulative wall perpendicular to the tire surface and in proximity to but not covering the at least one tire electronics device such that contact with the tire electronics device by the end of the conductive wire configured for contact with the tire is inhibited by the insulative wall.
