Abstract
A method of measuring a tire is provided that uses a tire with a worn tread surface, and with a code on the tire. Visual data is obtained from the tire and the code, and a length of the code and a length of a position of the code is determined from the visual data. A worn tread surface to code length is determined from the visual data using the length of the code. Also, the method involves the calculation of wear of the tire by using the worn tread surface to code length.
