Tire Identifier uses AI to analyze any tire from a single photo โ€” giving you a complete safety report in seconds. WHAT IT ANALYZES - Tire brand, model & size (width, aspect ratio, rim diameter) - Tread depth & remaining life percentage - Wear patterns & what's causing them - DOT code โ€” manufacture date & tire age - Sidewall cracks, bulges & visible damage - Recommended air pressure (PSI & BAR) - Safety score out of 100 - Wet & dry grip ratings - Fuel efficiency rating IS YOUR TIRE SAFE? Every scan gives you a clear safety score from 0 to 100, an urgency level, and specific warnings if your tire needs attention. No more guessing. DECODE YOUR DOT CODE The DOT code on your sidewall tells you exactly when your tire was made. Tires over 6 years old become dangerous even if the tread looks fine. Tire Identifier reads it instantly. UNDERSTAND WEAR PATTERNS Uneven wear reveals hidden problems โ€” alignment issues, suspension wear, wrong inflation. Tire Identifier diagnoses the cause, not just the symptom. WHO IT'S FOR โ€” Car & SUV owners who want peace of mind before a long drive โ€” Parents checking the family car โ€” Used car buyers inspecting tires before purchase โ€” Fleet managers checking multiple vehicles โ€” Anyone who's ever wondered "is this tire still safe?" AI TIRE EXPERT CHAT Have a question about your tires? Ask our built-in AI tire expert anything โ€” tire sizing, when to rotate, winter vs all-season, pressure tips, and more. SCAN HISTORY Every tire you scan is saved with its full report. Track condition over time and know exactly when replacement is due. SUPPORTS 12 LANGUAGES English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Arabic, Korean, Russian, Portuguese, Chinese.

About

ThirdGear

Features
Read full description

Built for car enthusiasts who enjoy spending time in third gear. Mix and match engines, gearboxes, final drives and tires, then see what each combination does to speed and rpm in every gear. Change a ratio and everything redraws: the rpm-vs-speed trace, tractive effort against the traction limit, where each gear tops out, and where you should be shifting. Features A/B comparison: Put two setups side by side on the same charts. Swap a diff, a gearbox, or a whole engine and watch what moves. Acceleration and traction - Timed runs with your shift times factored in, plus tractive effort per gear against the grip you actually have. Optimal shift points - Where the next gear starts pulling harder than the one you're in, not just where the limiter is. Lap telemetry gear map - Import a lap from RaceChrono and see which gear you're in at every point on the track, with shift logic you can tune to match how you actually drive it. Garage - Save setups, load them back, and share one with a mate as a QR code. Everything runs on your device for free. No account, no sign-in, no network, and nothing leaves your phone.
