ABSTRACT:
A tire monitoring assembly is advantageously employed with a wheel and tire assembly having a wheel rim, with the wheel rim including a mounting hole having an anti-rotation feature. The tire monitoring assembly may include a mounting stud having a head and a shank extending from the head, with the head including a flange portion and an anti-rotation portion adapted to operatively engage the anti-rotation feature of the wheel rim, and with the shank including a threaded end spaced from the head. A grommet may be made of an elastomeric material and have an inner sealing portion, an outer sealing portion, spaced from the inner sealing portion, and a main body extending between the inner sealing portion and the outer sealing portion and adapted to be located in the mounting hole, with the outer sealing portion enclosing the flange portion. An assembly housing includes a stud hole for receiving the shank therethrough and a mount adapted for maintaining contact with the wheel rim, and a retainer is employed for engaging a portion of the shank extending through the stud hole to thereby secure the assembly housing to the stud.
