In a method for determining vehicle status quantities on the basis of the forces acting on the individual wheel and detected by means of tire sensors, where the measured quantities represent the longitudinal and lateral tire forces as well as the vertical tire forces, the angular yaw velocity and acceleration, the steering angle, the side slip angle of the vehicle as well as the vehicle velocity and acceleration are established by inclusion of corrective quantities established, estimated and/or calculated in corrective step. By means of the corrective steps, the quantities dependent on wheel forces, intermediate quantities, or components are weighted in dependence on further measured quantities which have been established by conventional sensor devices, etc., and/or which represent the vehicle situation.
