Abstract: A tire comprising a tread block made of tread material, a tread, of which a part is formed by the tread block, and an insert comprising a primary capacitive component and a primary inductive component. The insert extends in a longitudinal direction from a bottom of the insert to a top of the insert. The insert has a first cross section at a first longitudinal position and a second cross section at a second longitudinal position, wherein the first longitudinal position is located closer to the tread of the tire than the second longitudinal position, and the second cross section is greater than the first cross section. At least a part of the top of the insert does not form an interface with the tread material. A method for applying an insert into a tire. An insert is inserted into a blind hole of the tire such that the bottom of the insert is inserted deeper in the blind hole than the top of the insert.

Abstract: A tire is configured to rotate about an axis of rotation. The tire includes a tread block forming part of a tread of the tire and a circuit having a primary capacitive component. At least a part of the primary capacitive component is arranged a first distance from the tread and inside the tread block and a primary inductive component of which at least a part is arranged a second distance towards the interior of the tire from the tread. The tire includes an interrogator having an electric source, a communication circuit, and a secondary inductive component. The secondary inductive component is arranged on the same side of the tread as the primary inductive component and part of the secondary inductive component is arranged a third distance from the tread, the third distance being greater than the second distance. A method arranges a wear indicator on a tire.

Abstract: A tire configured to rotate about an axis of rotation, the tire comprising a tread block forming at least a part of a tread of the tire and a circuit comprising a primary capacitive component, wherein at least a part of the primary capacitive component is arranged a first distance apart from the tread and inside the tread block and a primary inductive component of which at least a part is arranged a second distance towards the interior of the tire from the tread. The tire further comprises an interrogator comprising an electric source, a communication circuit, and a secondary inductive component. The secondary inductive component is arranged on the same side of the tread as the primary inductive component and at least a part of the secondary inductive component is arranged a third distance apart from the tread, the third distance being greater than the second distance.

Abstract: A tire, comprising a module and a receptacle connected to an inner surface of the tire. Therein, the receptacle comprises wall(s), which wall(s) limit(s) openings comprising at least a first opening and a second opening. Therein, part of the module extends through at least the second opening such that the wall(s) of the receptacle laterally surround(s) only a first part of the module such that at least a second part of the module is arranged outside the receptacle.
