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.
*Quick Tread requires a Quick Check console.

Single-line scans can vary greatly.
Sipes and other obstructions can affect
the results of a single-line scan —
even scans taken in close proximity
to one another.
Random Line Scan
Measurement
Other drive over tread depth
measurement tools collect data
points across a single line of a tire.
✔ This small amount of data
is used to measure overall
tire health
✔ The results can vary greatly
depending on what part of the
tread is measured
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Measurement is Obsolete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
Inferior Tread Depth Measurement Methods

What about rocks, stones or wear indicator bars?
Single-line scans can’t calculate for non-tread
wear factors.
Quick Tread’s point cloud scan is able to account
for these issues and return the most accurate
measurements.
More Data Means a
More Accurate Assessment
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 three-
dimensional representation
of the two-inch testing segment
✔ More accurately measures overall
tire tread depth
✔ Color-coded results quickly relay
good, marginal or bad treads

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.
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.

AT
REST
New tires show
clearly defi ned tread
ensuring effi cient
water displacement.
When comparing
stationary tires, little
difference in tread
defi nition between
new tire tread and
a tire worn to 4/32"
is obvious.
At the minimal tread
depth, tread defi nition
is barely visible —
already illustrating that
water displacement
will be ineffi cient.
6/32"
10/32"
4/32" 2/32"
45
MPH
Any tire in motion
will lose some contact
with the road, but tires
with well-defi ned tread
will maintain better
contact.
Unable to displace
water effi ciently, water
begins to pool at the
front of a tire with
worn tread.
Tires with severely
worn tread have far
less contact with the
road and allow a
dangerous amount of
water to pool at the
front of the tire.
60
MPH
At high speeds, even
tires with well-defi ned
tread cannot
suffi ciently displace
water. Eventually, only
the sides and back of
the tire will make
contact with the road.
Tire’s center has no
contact with the road.
With only the sides of
the tire somewhat in
control, high-speed
road travel is
hazardous on slightly
worn tread.
At high speeds, with
minimal tread depth,
water can no longer
be displaced properly,
lifting the tire off
the road surface
— hydroplaning
out of control.

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 suffi cient 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
fl agged with irregular tire wear
when tested.
✔ By the time a tire shows signs of
irregular wear it is too late as
most of the useful life of the tire
is already passed.
Tire Wear & Wheel Alignment
Q: What happens when a recently aligned car
with tire wear is tested again using the
tire wear pattern to indicate alignment need?
A: It will incorrectly indicate alignment need!
Normal Camber Wear
Toe Wear
(Toe In or Toe Out)
Chopped Wear
(Cupping)
Measure more than tire wear for accurate wheel alignment assessments*
Hunter’s Quick Check™ alignment inspection system
captures total toe and camber measurements to
accurately diagnose tire wear angles.
✔ Total toe and camber measurements can be used
to recommend alignment service.
✔ Hunter’s accuracy ensures your shop will capture
the most wheel alignment opportunities possible
without false alarms.
✔ Alignment problems can be detected early, before
the tire has a permanent irregular wear pattern.
