One aspect of the invention relates to a method for the wireless optimization of wheel monitoring in a vehicle equipped with vehicle wheels, wherein, for monitoring at least one of the vehicle wheels, at least one wheel operating parameter of the vehicle wheel is measured by an electronic wheel unit disposed on the associated vehicle wheel and wireless signals, which contain information about the at least one measured wheel operating parameter, are each transmitted at a wheel rotational position of the vehicle wheel determined by the electronic wheel unit, wherein the wireless signals are received and evaluated by a control device of the vehicle and, for the wireless optimization of wheel monitoring, a plurality of wireless signals are transmitted by means of the electronic wheel unit at different wheel rotational positions, wherein the wireless signals are received by the control device and evaluated with regard to their respective wireless signal strengths, wherein an optimization wireless signal is transmitted to the electronic wheel unit by means of the control device, wherein the optimization wireless signal contains optimization information obtained on the basis of the evaluation of the wireless signals, and wherein the optimization wireless signal is received by the electronic wheel unit and the optimization information contained therein is taken into account for determining the wheel rotational position of the vehicle wheel for the wireless signals transmitted subsequently.
