An RFID tire tag is a small, embedded device in a tire that uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to track, monitor, and manage tires throughout their lifecycle. These tags provide digital twins for tires and offer seamless integration with fleet management systems and other tracking applications.
At Hana RFID, we’re redefining RFID technology for the tire industry, creating innovative solutions that promote a circular economy across manufacturing, distribution, sales, and repairs. Our embeddable RAIN RFID tire tags empower businesses to streamline processes throughout the supply chain, delivering new efficiencies and insights for a sustainable future. Partnering with leaders like Impinj, NXP, and ASYGN, we produce RFID tags that meet rigorous quality and reliability standards, trusted by major tire manufacturers worldwide.
As industries evolve through digitization and legislation, we stand at the forefront of tire-tag technology with our Linkless (Rev4/Tag4) and Direct Attached tagging solutions. Designed to work seamlessly with or without sensing capabilities, enabling digital twins of each tire prepared for new regulations like the DPP (Digital Product Passport) in Europe. With expertise honed through development partnerships with Goodyear and Michelin since day one (2005), Hana RFID leads the field in high-performance tire tagging for diverse applications—from OTR to racing. Join us and drive innovation in embeddable tire tagging.
Embeddable RFID tire tagging is the key to a smarter, more connected tire ecosystem. When used with an industry-standard data format, RFID-embedded tires unlock new possibilities across manufacturing, logistics, fleet management, and recycling. By enabling seamless tracking and data-sharing, they drive efficiency in tire lifecycle management—from production to end-of-life recycling. As regulatory frameworks like the European Digital Product Passport (DPP) take shape, RFID ensures compliance, future-proofing your operations for the next era of sustainability and traceability.
RFID tagging streamlines tire shipment inspections and inventory management by significantly reducing manual workload. With real-time data updates and seamless sharing across locations, RFID also enhances visibility into tire deliveries, ensuring better tracking and operational efficiency.
RFID enhances sorting efficiency, improving tire reusability by accurately tracking potential scrap tires and categorizing them for retreading, recycling, or disposal. By providing clear visibility into their status (and contents), it supports environmentally responsible reuse/recycling and a more sustainable tire lifecycle.
RFID simplifies tire maintenance by enabling paperless tracking of air pressure, tread depth, and mounted tires, reducing the workload for on-site workers. It also streamlines ownership management, making seasonal tire changeovers—such as winter and summer swaps—more efficient and organized.
RFID ensures that new vehicles receive the correct tires in the proper positions, preventing mismatches during assembly. By recording key data such as manufacturing dates, lot numbers, and expiration dates, it also simplifies recall management, enabling quick identification of affected tires.
With reuse being a key driver of sustainability, RFID tags provide essential tire product information needed for retreading, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. They also enable seamless recording of retreading applications, supporting a more sustainable and traceable tire lifecycle.
RFID enables seamless tuning of tire and wheel/TPMS combinations, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. Additionally, it enhances quality control by providing a reliable way to verify the specifications and condition of tires before shipment, helping manufacturers and suppliers maintain high standards and consistency.
“RFID technology offers a dependable and unique identification and inventory tracking solution for Goodyear Racing’s tire distribution within NASCAR. The RFID chips can store extensive data, endure the entire lifespan of the tire, and enable automated readings. Goodyear Racing selected this RFID solution as it represents the fastest and most reliable method available to meet our operational needs.”

Get ready for the future of product traceability with the upcoming European Digital Product Passport (DPP) regulations. Designed to collect and share data about a product and its entire supply chain, DPPs provide valuable insights into the materials used and their environmental impacts. As a key action under the Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), DPPs will become mandatory for a wide range of regulated products—spanning textiles, construction materials, tires, electric vehicle batteries, and more. Stay ahead of the curve and ensure your products are ready for this transformative shift toward sustainability and transparency.
The Global Data Service Organisation (GDSO) for Tires and Automotive Components is driving digital standardization in tire data, streamlining processes across the automotive industry.
Founded through the collaborative efforts of Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear, Michelin, and Pirelli, GDSO’s mission is to simplify information sharing and enable a new era of connected services. After six years of dedicated work, the organization has defined a global solution based on a unique item identifier (UII), providing access to valuable data for all stakeholders involved.
Funded by the European Commission under the Digital Europe Programme, the CIRPASS-2 project will demonstrate functioning Digital Product Passports (DPP) in real settings via 13 circular pilot deployments and use cases in textiles, electronics, tires and construction value chains.
The 13 pilots are united in demonstrating the DPP’s potential as an enabler of the circular economy transition, an essential element of the EU green transition.
