A tire and sensor system and method includes a tire having an inflatable radially inward tire casing and a radially outward tire tread ring situated on the casing and a sensor system. The sensor system includes a first conductive medium affixed to a radially inward surface of the tread ring and a second conductive medium affixed to a radially outward surface of the casing. The second conductive medium operatively contacts the first conductive medium in a desired, relative orientation between the tire casing and the tread ring and operatively separates from the first conductive medium when tire casing and the tread ring depart from the desired orientation. A sensor is connected to the second conductive medium for operatively detecting separation of the second conductive medium from the first conductive medium.
