TIRE WITH A SET OF PRINTED SENSORS

A tire with printed sensors is disclosed. The tire comprises a pair of bead areas; a ground-contacting tread disposed radially outwardly of the pair of bead areas; a pair of sidewalls, including an inboard sidewall extending from a first one of the bead areas to the tread, and an outboard sidewall extending from a second one of the bead areas to the tread; a carcass extending toroidally between each of the bead areas radially inwardly of the tread; an innerliner formed on an inside surface of the carcass; and a set of sensors consisting of a plurality of sensors printed on the innerliner, wherein the plurality of sensors are printed in a sidewall zone of the inboard sidewall and/or in a sidewall zone of the outboard sidewall. The plurality of sensors is configured to measure deformation in the sidewall zone. The plurality of sensors is daisy-chained so that the set of sensors provides a single deformation signal, the single deformation signal being based on the measured deformations of the plurality of sensors.
