Claim 11:
12. A tire failure prediction method, comprising the steps of:
acquiring temperature values of a first tire and a second tire mounted at symmetrical positions on an identical axle of a traveling vehicle, the temperature values being respectively detected by first and second temperature sensors,
determining that the first tire has a possibility of failure in a case where the temperature value of the first tire is greater than a predetermined threshold value, and a temperature difference corresponding to a difference between the temperature value of the first tire and the temperature value of the second tire is greater than a predetermined first temperature threshold value,
detecting air pressure values of inner portions of the first tire and the second tire, the first tire and the second tire being pneumatic tires, and
acquiring the air pressure values respectively detected by the first and second air pressure sensors, wherein
the determining uses a second temperature threshold value that is higher than the first temperature threshold value in a case where an air pressure difference corresponding to a difference between the air pressure value of the first tire and the air pressure value of the second tire is greater than a predetermined threshold value.
