A method for allocating first transmitters of a tire monitoring system, especially of a tire-pressure monitoring system having a wheel unit comprising a sensor, a first transmitter, which can be triggered, and a sending antenna on each of N wheels arranged on L axles of a vehicle according to a predetermined axle formula, further having at least one receiving antenna on the vehicle body associated to the first transmitters and an electronic receiver and evaluation system, connected to the at least one receiving antenna by allocating an identifier characteristic of a particular wheel to its respective first transmitter, by emitting data telegrams, which contain the identifier, in response to a triggering action of second transmitters which serve as trigger transmitters, and by passing on such data telegrams to the central electronic receiver and evaluation system. It is provided according to the invention that the number n of the trigger transmitters arranged on the vehicle is smaller than the number A of the axle positions, that each axle position of the vehicle is associated to a triggering range of at least one of the n trigger transmitters, that the trigger transmitters are so arranged and/or configured that at least one axle position is associated to the triggering range of at least two trigger transmitters, that the identifiers of the electronic wheel units that respond to a trigger signal of a particular trigger transmitter are registered by the at least one receiving antenna and are passed on to the electronic receiver and evaluation unit, and that the electronic evaluation unit calculates the axle position of a given electronic wheel unit based on the axle formula of the vehicle.
