Claim One:
1. An optimal tire slip ratio 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; a tire-affixed tire-identification device for providing an electronic tire-specific identification; a plurality of tire-affixed sensors mounted to the tire operably measuring the tire-specific parameters and generating tire-specific parameter information, the tire-specific parameter information including: a load estimation for the one vehicle tire, a measured temperature of the one vehicle tire, a measured air pressure within a cavity of the one vehicle tire, and a wear estimation for a tread region of the one vehicle tire; and a model-based optimal slip ratio estimator operable to generate a model-derived optimal tire slip ratio estimation from an assessment of the tire-specific parameter information relative to the electronic tire-specific identification.
