Claim 12:
13. 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, and
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; wherein
the temperature values are acquired at a predetermined period length,
the temperature value of the first tire is acquired at a period length smaller than the predetermined period length in a case where the temperature value of the first tire acquired is greater than a predetermined threshold value, and a difference between the temperature of the first tire and the temperature of the second tire is greater than a predetermined threshold value.
