Systems and methods of identifying and buffing tire casings are provided. A tire buffing machine includes an expandable rim, a buffer, a measurement sensor configured to generate measurement data, and a controller. The controller maintains a database of a plurality of casing profiles, where each casing profile includes known casing measurements and corresponding buffing parameters. The controller receives measurement data from the measurement sensor, identifies the casing mounted onto the expandable rim, and operates the buffer to buff the casing in accordance with buffing parameters in the matching casing profile.
