Digital Tyre Inspections Hit Major Global Milestone
Digital tyre inspection technology has reached a significant milestone in 2025, as AI-powered inspection systems surpass more than 100 million tyre inspections worldwide. The achievement highlights the rapid adoption of digital tools across tyre retail, fleet management, and commercial vehicle servicing.
Key Developments
- 100+ million inspections completed: AI-driven tyre inspection platforms have now been used in over 100 million inspections globally, reflecting growing trust and reliance on automated tyre diagnostics.
- Faster and more accurate checks: Digital inspections significantly reduce inspection time while improving measurement accuracy for tread depth, wear patterns, and tyre condition.
- Workshop efficiency gains: Tyre dealers and service centres report improved workflow, reduced human error, and better customer transparency.
Impact on TBR & OTR Segments
- Fleet maintenance optimisation: For TBR and OTR fleets, digital inspections support predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and extending tyre life.
- Data-driven decisions: Inspection data enables fleet operators to plan retreading cycles, casing management, and replacement strategies more effectively.
- Enhanced safety compliance: Automated reporting helps fleets meet safety and regulatory requirements with documented inspection records.
Technology Trends
- AI and image recognition: Advanced image processing and machine learning allow accurate tyre assessment using smartphones or dedicated devices.
- Cloud integration: Inspection results are stored and analysed centrally, enabling trend tracking across vehicles, sites, and regions.
- Integration with fleet systems: Digital tyre data is increasingly linked with fleet management and telematics platforms.
Industry Outlook
As digitalisation accelerates across the tyre industry, AI-based inspection tools are expected to become standard practice — particularly for TBR and OTR operations where uptime, safety, and cost efficiency are critical. Continued innovation in automation and analytics will further strengthen the role of digital inspections in tyre lifecycle management.
