What is the data transmitted by tire sensors to monitor tire health?

Tire health is mainly monitored using the pressure inside the tire, and, in many systems, the tire’s temperature as well. The pressure reading shows whether the tire is underinflated or overinflated, which affects safety, handling, tire wear, and fuel efficiency. Temperature data helps identify overheating or abnormal conditions that could indicate a slow leak or other issue, as heat can rise with friction or a failing tire. The other options don’t provide the essential health information: speed and load aren’t measured to assess tire health, and while the sensor has a battery, its level isn’t the data used to monitor tire health. Position and direction aren’t relevant data from tire health sensors either.
