Quick Tread ™ Drive over tread depth system NEW!
Quick Tread ™ At-A-Glance Driven by Hunter’s award-winning WinAlign® software, Quick Tread™ — Hunter’s drive over tread depth unit — automatically measures the tread depth of each tire in seconds. Quick Tread measures tread depth, analyzes the data on-site and instantly displays results on your Quick Check™ console*. Quick Tread operation does not require an internet connection and there are no recurring monthly charges.
Built-In Accuracy Point Cloud Measurement Technology ✔ Eliminate human error and guesswork ✔ Measure a two-inch tire segment, not a single point ✔ 280,000 data points (800x350) ✔ Generate three-dimensional models of the customer’s tire 2 in.
Inferior Tread Depth Measurement Methods Basic Hand-Held Measurement is Obsolete Prior to digital measurement technology, tread depth was measured using a hand-held, plunger-type measurement tool. ✔ Measurements often written down, creating additional paperwork ✔ Required technicians to manually interpret each reading ✔ Accuracy could vary by ±3/32 or more depending on operator Random Line Scan Measurement Other drive over tread depth measurement tools collect data points across a single line of a tire.
Hunter’s Quick Tread ™ Method More Data Means a More Accurate Assessment ome to Hunter Engineering Co. 0 Hunter Drive eton, MO 63044 731-3020 00 AM Hunter’s Quick Tread™ system collects 280,000 data points (800x350) across a two-inch segment of the tire. ✔ Large data sample generates a point cloud — a threedimensional representation of the two-inch testing segment ✔ More accurately measures overall tire tread depth 2 in. Results displayed as 3D model of customer’s tire.
Tread Depth Affects a Vehicle’s Stopping Distance Tire tread depth is important because a tire’s grooves squeeze out water, debris and snow so tires can hit the road and keep the vehicle running safely. 60 mph Ideal 10/32" As tires wear, the grooves become shallow and compromise the tire’s ability to make solid contact with the road. As tread depth decreases, the vehicle’s wet weather stopping distance increases. 10/32" Wet Weather Stopping Distance* 60 mph 230 ft. 6/32" 4/32" 2/32" 253 ft.
Tire Wear & Wheel Alignment Low tread depth does not always mean a vehicle is out of alignment While tread depth measurements are useful for recommending tire replacement, tread depth results alone are not sufficient for recommending wheel alignment. ✔ Tire wear patterns, which frequently result in tread depth deterioration, are permanent and will remain until the tire is replaced. ✔ Even after a proper wheel alignment, the tire will still be flagged with irregular tire wear when tested.
Customize Your Printouts Build a printout layout that is unique to your business and uses all of the available space on the printout.
Reporting Tools for Managers Using work management tools, shop managers can track statistics and generate reports. ✔ Breakdown “repair opportunities found” vs. “repair orders generated” by the week, month, year or lifetime ✔ Analyze tread depth results and failure rates ✔ Remote access of data available with an Internet* connection using HunterNet™ See your service opportunities virtually anywhere, anytime.
