Claim:
A method for monitoring a measured tire parameter comprising the steps: a. identifying tire air pressure as a monitored tire parameter; b. measuring the tire parameter; c. formulating an analytic system strategy for an evaluation of the tire parameter based upon a plurality of analytic systems, the strategy formulation selecting between the use of a single analytic system and, in the alternative, the simultaneous parallel use of a plurality of analytic systems; d. selecting at least one analytic system for evaluating the tire parameter measurement from the plurality of analytic systems, wherein selecting at least one analytic system comprises the steps: establishing a non-zero minimum leak rate limit (RateLimit); establishing a non-zero low pressure threshold difference band (Low Pth); measuring a leak rate (k); and using an analytic system optimally suited for the measured leak rate; e. analyzing the measured tire parameter by means of the selected analytic system; and f. communicating a conclusion based upon the analysis of the measured tire parameter.
