Short excerpt.

Cyber Tires have a sensor that communicates with a vehicle's computers. The car knows the type of tire, whether it's the winter or summer version, the recommended pressure, the load index, and the speed rating. The system can monitor things like the level of wear, temperature, grip and slip details, the load on them, and more. Depending on how an automaker implements the tech, a vehicle can use this info to adjust the suspension settings, electronic stability control parameters, braking assist, and more.

Great when it works, but it sounds like a technical disaster waiting to happen. More weight, more complexity, more breakdowns.
