Method for determining the absolute abrasive wear on at least one tyre of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle has a tyre pressure monitoring system made up of a pressure sensor, a transmission unit and a reception unit and also a computer unit and a data memory with a database, characterized by the following method steps: a. determining the complete revolution of the tyre and also the time required for this by means of a sensor and providing this as a data segment (D); b. transmitting the data segment (D) by way of the transmission unit and reception unit to the computer unit ; c. calculating the length L of the outside surface of the tyre with the radius r and storing this value; d. comparing the length L with the stored length of the data segment (D) in the data memory ; e. comparing with a value of the length L stored in the data memory to ascertain whether the actual length L is shorter, the same, or longer; i. if the length L is longer, the measurement is repeated; ii. if the length L is the same, the measurement is repeated; iii. if the length L is shorter, this value of the actual length is stored in the data memory and compared with a minimum value, which is likewise stored in the data memory ; I. if the length L is the same as or greater than the minimum value, the measurement is repeated; II. if the length L is smaller than the minimum value, a warning message that the tyre profile minimum dimension is no longer met is issued. a. determining the complete revolution of the tyre and also the time required for this by means of a sensor and providing this as a data segment (D); b. transmitting the data segment (D) by way of the transmission unit and reception unit to the computer unit ; c. calculating the length L of the outside surface of the tyre with the radius r and storing this value; d. comparing the length L with the stored length of the data segment (D) in the data memory ; e. comparing with a value of the length L stored in the data memory to ascertain whether the actual length L is shorter, the same, or longer; i. if the length L is longer, the measurement is repeated; ii. if the length L is the same, the measurement is repeated; iii. if the length L is shorter, this value of the actual length is stored in the data memory and compared with a minimum value, which is likewise stored in the data memory ; I. if the length L is the same as or greater than the minimum value, the measurement is repeated; II. if the length L is smaller than the minimum value, a warning message that the tyre profile minimum dimension is no longer met is issued. i. if the length L is longer, the measurement is repeated; ii. if the length L is the same, the measurement is repeated; iii. if the length L is shorter, this value of the actual length is stored in the data memory and compared with a minimum value, which is likewise stored in the data memory ; I. if the length L is the same as or greater than the minimum value, the measurement is repeated; II. if the length L is smaller than the minimum value, a warning message that the tyre profile minimum dimension is no longer met is issued.
