A system (10) and method for estimating the load of a tire (12) is disclosed. The tire (12) includes a pair of sidewalls (18) extending to a circumferential tread (20) and supports a vehicle (14). The method comprises the steps of: mounting a sensor (26) to the tire (12); measuring a parameter of the tire (12) with the sensor (26); determining a counter-deflection (40) of the tire (12) from the measured parameter; receiving a linear vehicle speed signal (54) through a controlled area network bus (30) of the vehicle (12); providing a processor (28) in electronic communication with the sensor (26) and with the controlled area network bus (30); receiving the linear vehicle speed signal (54) and the counter-deflection (40) of the tire (12) in a load estimation module (52) that is in electronic communication with the processor (28); and determining a load (68) on the tire (12) with the load estimation module (52).
