Claim:
1. A tire cornering stiffness estimation system comprising: a vehicle supported by at least one vehicle tire mounted to a hub, the vehicle tire having a tire cavity and a ground-engaging tread, and the tire having a plurality of tire-specific measureable parameters, the tire-specific measureable parameters including a load estimation for the one vehicle tire, a temperature of the one vehicle tire, an air pressure within a cavity of the one vehicle tire, and a tire identification identifying the one vehicle tire; a plurality of tire-affixed sensors mounted to the tire operably measuring the tire-specific measureable parameters to generate tire-specific information; at least one accelerometer mounted to the hub and generating a hub accelerometer signal to provide a wear estimation for the ground-engaging tread of the one vehicle tire; a tire cornering stiffness estimator employing a model operable to generate a tire cornering stiffness estimation based upon the hub accelerometer signal and adapted by the tire-specific information.
