Michelin, a global leader in tyre innovation, is proud to announce the full deployment of TreadEye, a proprietary technology developed to enhance the retread process and deliver measurable value to fleets. After a period of phased implementation, TreadEye is now available across the Michelin Retread Technologies franchise network in the United States.
Game Changer for Tyre Investment
TreadEye is an industry-leading tread depth assessment tool that helps fleets maximise their tyre investment—because every 32nd of an inch counts. The system accurately and consistently collects 1,200 measurement points, providing precise insights into tread wear and casing condition.
“TreadEye is a game-changer for our retread operations and for the fleets we serve,” said Nate Kirian, Vice President of Sales and Distribution, Commercial Business Lines for Michelin North America, Inc. “It’s a powerful example of how Michelin continues to innovate in ways that directly benefit our customers.”
Key benefits of TreadEye include identifying pull points by fleet location; maximising rubber on the road by avoiding early pulls; preventing casing damage; reducing DOT violations and downtime from late pulls; and improving efficiency in the tyre removal process, directly impacting a fleet’s bottom line.
