1. A system for determining frequencies associated with tire crown bending, comprising:
- a vibration generating device configured to excite vibrations through a tire;
a vibration sensing arrangement configured to sense vibrations at a plurality of sensing points on the tire; and
a computer in communication with said vibration sensing arrangement and configured to determine a first frequency associated with bending of a crown of the tire based at least partially on phase differences between the sensed vibrations at the plurality of points on the tire.
