Uniformity of a tire using tooling signature analysis

A system for improving the uniformity of tires, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable medium storing computer readable instructions for execution by said processor, said computer-readable medium further storing a plurality of uniformity waveforms, each uniformity waveform measured for a tire in a set of a plurality of tires;
• wherein said processor is configured to execute said computer-readable instructions to cause the processor to perforin operations, the operations comprising analyzing the plurality of uniformity waveforms to identify a tooling signature for a tooling element used in tire manufacture in accordance with any of the methods of the preceding claims.
