ABSTRACT:
A monitoring device for a pneumatic tire includes a body having a central portion with a monitoring assembly carried by the central portion. A plurality of spaced fingers project from the central portion of the body. The fingers support the monitoring assembly in a spaced located from the inner surface of the tire. The fingers also cushion the monitoring assembly and raise it above any liquid that may be disposed in the tire. In one embodiment, the fingers are designed to position the center of the device at the center of the tire sidewall. In this embodiment, the fingers may be configured to engage the tire and rim at the same time.
