Michelin recently completed the rollout of its TreadEye system across its US retread network. TreadEye is a tread-depth and casing-condition measurement tool that records 1,200 measurement points per tire, offering fleets detailed insights into wear, damage and when a tire should be pulled. Scott Vanchoff, vice president of Michelin Retread Technologies, speaks with TTI about the technology, purpose and innovation behind the solution

In a traditional retread process, the operator at the initial inspection post is tasked with manually measuring the tread depth of each tire that comes through their post.
