A method for producing a retreaded tire 2 includes a step of shaving a tread 104 from a tire 102, a step of attaching a tag member 30 to a formed surface BD made by shaving the tread 104, and a step of reconstructing a new tread 4. The formed surface BD is located radially outward of a maximum width position of the tire 2. The tag member 30 is located radially inward of an end of a belt 14. An initial vulcanization time t10 of a rubber composition for a protector 34 of the tag member 30 is shorter than an initial vulcanization time t10 of a rubber composition for the new tread 4.

A tyre monitoring device with an electronic unit enclosed in an encapsulation material. The encapsulation material forms a single body with an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion encloses and protects the electronic unit and the lower portion has a base surface aimed at fixing said device to the inner surface of the tyre.

In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, a tire monitoring system is provided. The tire monitoring system utilizes a heat sensor embedded in a solid rubber tire. The heat sensor detects a temperature of the solid tire, and a transmission system transmits signals indicative of the temperature from the heat sensor to a remote monitoring system. The remote monitoring system may monitor the temperature of the solid tire and output notifications to alert a user when preventive maintenance is needed. The heat sensor may be embedded in the solid rubber tire during the manufacture of the solid tire, or the heat sensor may be embedded into the solid tire after production of the tire is complete. The system may be used track cure time and temperature as the tire is being produced and/or to log tire performance information throughout the operation of the tire.

A positioning device for keeping a monitoring device for tyres of vehicle wheels in an installation condition, includes: two separate active portions, each having a main surface the shape of which matches that of a respective portion of an outer surface of a monitoring device, said separate active portions being adapted to cooperate with at least base portions of said monitoring device so that, when said positioning device is associated with said monitoring device, the base portions of said monitoring device are maintained at a given mutual distance by said active portions.

A radiofrequency transponder includes a radiating antenna and an electronic device. The radiating antenna is a single-strand helical spring forming a dipole antenna. The electronic device includes an electronic chip and a primary antenna, which are encapsulated at least partially in a rigid, electrically insulating mass. The primary antenna is electromagnetically coupled to the radiating antenna.

Provided are: a tire including: a tire frame; and a reinforcing metal cord member that is wound at least on the outer circumference of the tire frame, wherein at least a portion of the reinforcing metal cord member is coated with a coating composition via an adhesion layer that contains a polyamide-based adhesive and has a melting point of from 160 C. to 200 C., the coating composition containing at least one thermoplastic material selected from polyamide-based thermoplastic resins having a melting point of from 160 C. to 240 C. and polyamide-based thermoplastic elastomers having a melting point of from 160 C. to 240 C.; and a method of producing the same.

A chemically treated, RFID equipped mesh tire label configured to be integrally incorporated within a vulcanized tire and to provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire during and post tire vulcanization, the label comprising: a mesh face layer configured to be adhered to an outer surface of an unvulcanized tire; a mesh backing layer attached to the mesh face layer and adapted to be integrally incorporated in a vulcanized tire after subjecting a green tire to a vulcanization process; and an RFID device affixed between the mesh face and mesh backing layers, the RFID device that is configured to provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information upon being read with an RFID reader during and post tire vulcanization.

Tire of maximum width LT comprising a tread (1) asymmetric about the equatorial plane, one of its sides of which is intended to be positioned on the outboard side of the vehicle, a crown inner liner, radially furthest on the inside of the crown, and an electronic device with a sensor making for measuring at least one parameter. This electronic device is installed in the tire under the crown, radially on the inside of the inner liner of the crown, on the side of the tread that is intended to be positioned on the outboard side of the vehicle with respect to the equatorial plane and such that the axial distance from the centre of gravity of the electronic device to the equatorial plane is at least equal to 5% and at most equal to 25% of the maximum axial width of the tire LT.

A tire includes a first side and a second side, and a tread portion extending between the first side and the second side. The first side includes external geometry having at least one rib surrounding a recess, without extending into the recess. The recess is configured to receive a tire electronic device.

A tire includes: a pair of beads having a bead core and bead filler extending to an outer side in a tire-radial direction of the bead core; a carcass ply extending from one bead to another bead; an inner liner arranged at a tire inner cavity side of the carcass ply; and an electronic component unit pasted to a tire inner cavity side of the inner liner, in which the electronic component unit is arranged at a tire-radial direction position distanced at least 5.0 mm to the outer side in the tire-radial direction from a tire-radial direction outside end of the bead core.
