It is the purpose of the present invention to provide a method, apparatus and program for alarming decrease in tire air-pressure capable of precisely detecting decrease in tire air-pressure even during turning round a corner with a large bank angle. The present invention discloses a method for alarming decrease in tire air-pressure that detects decrease in tire air-pressure using a judgment value obtained based on rotational wheel speeds obtained from tires loaded on a vehicle, comprising a step of detecting the rotational wheel speeds of respective tires when a vehicle turns round a corner, a step of calculating a vehicle speed from the rotational wheel speeds of respective tires, a step of detecting the yaw rate of the vehicle, a step of detecting acceleration to a lateral direction by a lateral directional acceleration sensor, a step of estimating a bank angle at a corner during turning using the yaw rate, vehicle speed and lateral directional acceleration of the vehicle, a step of calculating a judgment value from the rotational wheel speeds of respective tires and a step of preventing erroneous judgment occurring during turning round a corner with a bank angle based on the estimated bank angle.
