A tire and a method of securing an object thereto includes a two-piece
fastening system having a first portion which is applied to an innerliner
of a green tire prior to the green tire being cured and a second portion
which includes an object, such as a radio frequency identification chip,
attached thereto. The first portion of the two-piece fastening system is
attached to the innerliner of the tire with an adhesive or by curing. The
green tire is then cured and the second portion of the two-piece
fastening system with the object attached thereto is then attached to the
first portion of the two-piece fastening system. In an alternative
embodiment, the object may be sandwiched between the first and second
portions of the fastening system.
