Tyres are the only physical connection between a car and the road, and have traditionally been the least connected part of increasingly complex vehicles, until now.

Connesso is an IoT product that provides the driver with information on the tyre operating conditions by exploiting a set of sensors mounted in the Pirelli tyres tread groove.

The on-board sensors report pressure, temperature, and load data to the Pirelli cloud via a receiver unit connected with bluetooth to a mobile app.

Real-time analytics and visualization of available data enable the system to report tyre consumption, residual mileage, maintenance status and potential breakdowns.

For the first time in history, tyres have a voice. Do they also have dreams?
