1. A tire including a temperature sensor associated with one or more tire plies within the tire, the temperature sensor comprising:
one or more split-ring resonators (SRRs), each SRR having a respective resonance frequency that changes by an amount in response to one or more of a change in an elastomeric property of a respective tire ply or a change in temperature of the respective tire ply; and
an electrically-conductive layer dielectrically separated from the one or more SRRs.
