Abstract

In a pressure sensor for detecting the air pressure in the interior of tubeless tires of motor vehicles, on a rim having two edge beads extending around its outside and a drum-like base, to facilitate mounting and provide malfunction-free, exact detection of pressure it is provided that the pressure sensor (10) is disposed in a bore (9) of the preferably radially inner section (5) of a bead (3), and in particular the longitudinal axis (43) of the pressure sensor (10) forms an acute angle with the axis (44) of the rim.
