1. A wheel motor compensation system for a vehicle having a wheel motor and a tire coupled to the wheel motor, comprising:
a hybrid wireless tire sensor (HWTS) coupled to an interior of the tire;
a processor electrically connected to the wheel motor; and
a memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
gathering real time data with the HWTS, and
utilizing the real time data to compensate the wheel motor so that preferred torque is applied to the tire.
