A detection method of reduced air pressure of tires based on the
rotational speed of wheels mounted on a vehicle. The method includes
steps of: determining the rotational speed of each wheel, memorizing the
rotational speed of each wheel, determining the loading sensitivity of
the dynamic load radius of tires caused by movement of a load during
turning, comparing the loading sensitivity with the loading sensitivity
of the dynamic load radii of tires at initialization which are
preliminarily memorized, and judging decompression of tires based on the
result of the comparison. Further, a loading sensitivity-calculating
method of determining the loading sensitivity of the dynamic load radii
of tires includes steps of: determining a lateral acceleration during
turning of a vehicle, determining the shift rate of a judgment value
which is the relative comparison of rotational speed of wheels on a pair
of diagonals of a vehicle, and determining the loading sensitivity.
