    I honestly don't know for sure one way or the other. I do know that the very nature of an RF chip is a tag. I don't know of any other method to see tire pressure other than a TPM system. DOT can see tire temps using infrared sensors!

    You can find this article from early 2017. After reading it, I'm gonna say that officer from OHP was honest.

    RF chips in tires carry info that can be scanned, like date of manufacture, batch number, etc. They cannot tell PSI without a power source.

    Now that being said, TPMS does operate with RF. So if you have TPMS, they could be able to scan it. But TPMS and RFID are two separate things.

    Simple quote from Google

    " to measure air pressure in tires. ... In addition, Farsens offers the Vortex1, an ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID sensor tag designed to monitor pressure in sealed places without the need for batteries or wires."

    The Vortex1 measures up to 1260 mbar. For the layman, that's 18 PSI.
