A judgment method of road surface condition includes steps of: periodically detecting the wheel rotational speeds of the four wheel tires of a vehicle, memorizing the wheel rotational speed of each of tires, determining a slip ratio from said wheel rotational speeds, determining the acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle, determining a relation equation between said slip ratio and the acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle, determining a judgment value for judging a friction coefficient between the road surface and tires based on the slope of said relation equation determined, and setting a threshold which is used for judging the friction coefficient from the judgment value using the information of wireless tags which were buried in the tires.
