A tire air-pressure alarming device includes wheel speed sensors for
detecting wheel speeds of wheels of a motor vehicle and also includes a
microcomputer-base control device and an alarming unit. The control
device is programmed to execute function steps of: deriving a decision
value based on the wheel speeds detected by the wheel speed sensors;
judging the occurrence of air-pressure drop of the tires constituting
wheels, based on the decision value; and outputting a command when the
occurrence of the air-pressure drop of the tires is judged. The alarming
unit is responsive to the command from the control device thereby to
raise an alarm indicating the occurrence of the air-pressure drop of the
tire. The tires are monitored by the tire air-pressure alarming device,
wherein the control device is also programmed to execute a function step
of standardizing the speed dependency of a rolling radius of the tires
thereby to standardize the performance in judging the air-pressure drop
of the tires. Thus, the tire property can be controlled to improve the
accuracy in detecting the tire air-pressure drop.
