The method comprises the steps of: detecting the angular velocity ( omega 1 - omega 4) of each wheel (1 to 4) and generating corresponding velocity signals or data, and processing the velocity signals or data in a processing unit (EPU) arranged for: calculating the value of a predetermined function (f, f') of the ratio or of the difference between the product of the angular velocities ( omega 1, omega 4) of two diagonally opposed wheels (1, 4) and the product of the angular velocities ( omega 2, omega 3) of the other two wheels (2, 3), and generating a warning signal when the difference between values of this function (f, f') and a first (static) reference value corresponding to a normal inflation condition of the tyres exceeds a predetermined value, or when the difference between the values of this function (f, f') and a second reference value determined upon each departure of the motor vehicle and corresponding to the actual inflation condition of the tyres upon departure of the motor vehicle (V) exceeds a predetermined value. <IMAGE> |
