TreadReader Hand Held scanner?

The world’s largest tyre manufacturer, Bridgestone,

worked with the manufacturer of the patented TreadReader

Tyre Measurement technology to survey 2,400 cars

October 2016, British Masters Golf Tournament

A team of Sigmavision technicians scanned tyres using the

TreadReader Hand Held scanner, as part of a collaborative venture between Sigmavision, Bridgestoneand its network of tyre service providers, First Stop.

805 tyres ‘badly worn’ or showing uneven wear due to misalignment or tyre inflation problems

380 vehicles (15.8%) with at least one tyre having a tread depth below 3mm.

65 of those vehicles (2.7%) with one tyre below the legal limit of 1.6mm.

Poor consumer awareness of tyre safety remains a serious issue

58% of people never check the tyre tread or assume it is done as part of a service

Motorists are receptive to correctly delivered tyre safety information
