Michelin announced 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.

TreadEye is an industry-leading tread depth assessment tool that helps fleets maximize their tire 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.
