Also a method for monitoring an inflation status of a tire is described. The method comprising the steps of transmitting a distance signal indicative of a distance from the wheel rim to an inside surface of the tire adjacent a riding surface; determining the inflation status of the tire; communicating an inflation status signal indicative of the inflation status; and presenting the inflation status of the tire within a passenger compartment of the vehicle.
