A tyre monitor (11) comprises a sensor device (12) arranged to detect an operating parameter of a tyre, such as tyre pressure or temperature. A resiliently flexible housing (14) comprising an elastic material is arranged to substantially surround the sensor device. The tyre monitor (11) is able to move freely when installed in a tyre. The elastic, resiliently flexible housing (14) around the sensor permits the monitor to be easily installed inside a tyre and to bounce, roll and travel inside it as the tyre moves. Thus, the monitor can directly sense the operating parameter within the tyre itself. The monitor may also include a wireless communications device to enable data from the sensor to be shared with crew.
