Kumho Tyre Australia has partnered with Asiana IDT, to offer radio frequency identification (RFID) tags in tyres. The company says that the RFID tags will be implemented in all of Kumho's commercial, 4×4, and passenger vehicle tyres. Kumho explains that with radio waves, the RFID tags transmit and receive information stored in uniquely coded tags.

The information can be extracted from a RFID tag from metres away, a significant advantage over barcodes. Moreover, RFID tags can also possess more data than barcodes.
