The invention relates to a method for organizing a group of several separate vehicles (1, 101, 201) in a platoon (2), said method comprising: an identification step (a) in order to identify the candidate vehicles (1, 101, 201) that are to form the platoon; an acquisition step (b) in order to acquire, for each candidate vehicle (1, 101, 201), at least one parameter associated with a tyre (6, 106, 206) of the candidate vehicle, such as the wet grip index of the tyre, referred to as the "tyre parameter" (G6, G106, G206); and, subsequently, based on the tyre parameter (G6, G106, G206), a processing step (c) for determining the rank (R) attributed to the particular candidate vehicle (1, 101, 201) in the platoon (2) and/or the inter-vehicle distance (D101, D201) which, at a given speed, must separate the candidate vehicle (101, 201) in question from the vehicle (1, 101) immediately in front in the platoon (2).
