Abstract
A method for recognizing the removal of a tire provided with a tire sensor device, includes recognizing, with the tire sensor device, if a respective tire is mounted on the motor vehicle and storing an item of information relating to a mounting status in the tire sensor device. If a removal is determined, the tire sensor device sends an item of information characterizing the removal to a central control unit and the central control unit outputs a warning. A tire sensor device, a central control unit and a system for anti-theft protection through tire removal recognition, are also provided.
