TIRE WITH ATTACHED COMPONENT AND SENSOR CONTAINER ASSEMBLY

A tire is disclosed having an inner surface comprising an elastomer composition and at least partially enclosing a tire cavity, wherein the tire further comprises a component having an attachment surface comprising a polymer composition, which is attached to a portion of the inner surface via an adhesive. The attachment surface comprises a surface pattern comprising elevations having a height within a range of from 20 µm to 1000 µm. Further, a sensor container assembly for a tire is disclosed comprising a sensor container having an attachment surface comprising an elastomer composition, wherein the attachment surface comprises a surface pattern comprising a plurality of elevations having a height within a range of 20 µm to 1000 µm; and a tire pressure sensor carried by the sensor container. Finally, a method of attaching a component to a portion of an inner surface of a tire is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: providing a tire comprising an inner surface partially enclosing a tire cavity; providing a component having an attachment surface comprising a polymer composition and having a surface pattern formed on the attachment surface; applying an adhesive onto one or more of the attachment surface and the portion of the inner surface; and attaching the component with its attachment surface onto the portion of the inner surface.
