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.

Tire with a wireless indicator

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.
