RFID In Tyres
I have just read an article about Michelin putting RFID* chips into tyres. I know it won't adversely affect the performance but Michelin reckon it could give them a big commercial advantage going forward if it gets picked up by car makers. I just wonder how long it will be before the bike makers pick up on it and start to make use of the technology.

I was also wondering what benefits we could see as riders compared to non-RFID chipped tyres.
* - RFID - radio frequency identification chips are passive devices that are energised by the reading unit and give off a unique identification signal
