Method for operating a control device for a chassis of a motor vehicle, including providing the motor vehicle, the chassis and a plurality of vibration dampers and tyres, wherein a wheel with a tyre is spring-mounted or held in each case in the chassis by vibration dampers, wherein - a situation signal, which signals a predetermined, current and/or planned dynamic driving situation, is received and - in dependence on the situation signal, a respective actuation signal for setting a damper hardness of at least one vibration damper of the chassis is generated and transmitted to an actuation unit of the respective vibration damper, wherein - at least one configuration value for configuring a buildup of force brought about by means of the set damper hardness is used as a basis for generating the respective actuation signal and - cornering is signalled as a dynamic driving situation by the situation signal, characterized in that - in dependence on the situation signal, it is determined by the control device which damper hardness of the respective vibration dampers is required in order to set a prescribed roll behaviour, it also being taken into account which properties the tyres of the motor vehicle have in each case, in that a hardness of the tyres is taken into account as a force characteristic that describes the side-force buildup, in that - a class signal, which specifies a respective tyre class of a tyre held by the respective vibration damper is received by the control device for each vibration damper, and for each tyre class a characteristic is provided in the control device and, in dependence on the class signal, it is established in the control device which characteristic is currently being used as a basis, and consequently overall - the at least one configuration value for the actuation signal of the vibration damper is set in dependence on the class signal of the tyre. - a situation signal, which signals a predetermined, current and/or planned dynamic driving situation, is received and - in dependence on the situation signal, a respective actuation signal for setting a damper hardness of at least one vibration damper of the chassis is generated and transmitted to an actuation unit of the respective vibration damper, wherein - at least one configuration value for configuring a buildup of force brought about by means of the set damper hardness is used as a basis for generating the respective actuation signal and - cornering is signalled as a dynamic driving situation by the situation signal, characterized in that - in dependence on the situation signal, it is determined by the control device which damper hardness of the respective vibration dampers is required in order to set a prescribed roll behaviour, it also being taken into account which properties the tyres of the motor vehicle have in each case, in that a hardness of the tyres is taken into account as a force characteristic that describes the side-force buildup, in that - a class signal, which specifies a respective tyre class of a tyre held by the respective vibration damper is received by the control device for each vibration damper, and for each tyre class a characteristic is provided in the control device and, in dependence on the class signal, it is established in the control device which characteristic is currently being used as a basis, and consequently overall - the at least one configuration value for the actuation signal of the vibration damper is set in dependence on the class signal of the tyre.
