Claim 8:
9. A method of making a tire assembly, the method comprising:
providing a tire having an inside surface and an outside surface opposite to the inside surface, wherein the tire has an inner side wall, an outside side wall, and a tread region coupled to the inner side wall and the outside side wall and located between the inner side wall and the outside side wall;
placing two or more electrical conductors, including a first electrical conductor and a second electrical conductor electrically insulated from the first electrical conductor, so that the two or more electrical conductors extend from the inside surface of the tire and the outside surface of the tire; and
placing two or more internal electrical conductors extending circumferentially on the inside surface of the tire, including (i) a first internal electrical conductor that is electrically coupled with a first group of electrical conductors extending from the inside surface of the tire to the outside surface of the tire, including the first electrical conductor, and (ii) a second internal electrical conductor that is electrically coupled with a second group of electrical conductors extending from the inside surface of the tire to the outside surface of the tire, including the second electrical conductor, wherein the first group of electrical conductors is mutually exclusive from the second group of electrical conductors.
