DRIVE March 1, 2017

The present invention relates to a tire equipped with a sensor patch, which includes a sensor module and a sensor patch. The sensor patch is formed integrally with the inner liner of the tire by being vulcanized into the inner circumferential surface, and an accommodation space is formed in a region so that the sensor module can be fixed therein. According to the present invention, a sensor patch is integrated with the inner liner without damaging the inner liner, and thus the sensor patch can be strongly bound to the tire. Furthermore, since the sensor patch is formed to have a thickness smaller than the thickness of the inner liner, when the sensor patch is vulcanized into the inner liner, the pressure of the bladder being exerted locally non-uniformly on the inner liner can be prevented.
