Claim:
A tyre for vehicle wheels, comprising: a substantially toroidal carcass structure, comprising: at least one carcass ply having axially opposite end flaps in engagement with respective annular structures for anchoring to a mounting rim; a belt structure circumferentially applied to the carcass structure at a radially external position; a tread band circumferentially applied to the belt structure at a radially external position; a pair of sidewalls each extending between one of said annular anchoring structures and a side edge of the tread band; a detecting device for detection of at least one characteristic parameter of said tyre which is applied to the carcass structure at a radially internal position, wherein the detecting device comprises: a detecting unit comprising an antenna having an inner perimetral edge and a sensor operatively connected to said antenna; and an anchoring body having: a base portion with a fastening surface secured to a radially internal surface of the tyre; a retaining portion associated with the base portion and having a top surface facing away from the fastening surface; and a perimetral groove being formed between the base portion and retaining portion, so that the detecting unit is removably in engagement with the anchoring body through the inner perimetral edge of the antenna fitted in the perimetral groove following elastic deformation of the retaining portion; wherein the anchoring body has an overall height measured between the fastening surface of the base portion and the top surface of the retaining portion of about 0.2 to about 1.5 times a maximum distance measured between two mutually spaced apart points along said inner perimetral edge.
