A method for generating an electric current within a tyre includes the step of including a variable magnetic field in at least one winding. The tire includes at least one bead core and the at least one winding. The at least one winding includes at least one turn wound around the at least one bead core. The electric current may power one or more electronic devices. The one or more electronic devices may include means for sensing one or more parameters associated with the tire, such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, or a pair of extensometers orientated perpendicularly to each other to sense deformations of the at least one bead core. The at least one winding may form at least part of a first inductive element associated with and movable with respect to at least one second inductive element to form an electrical generator.
