Your input is always appreicated.
With regard to tire identification, has there been serious consideration to expanding and standardizing RFID, already used for internal management/tracking, and in racing, into something with a consumer-facing element?
Instead of getting dirty, and on hands and knees to read the TIN, if it's even properly facing outward, having that info conveyed through the TPMS receiver, and having it read out on the dash, or a handheld scanner?
Something like a basic version of the Pirelli Cyber Tire.
