Abstract:
A system for monitoring tire tread on a vehicle may include front wheels, rear wheels, a sensor network to determine rolling radius data associated with the front wheels and the rear wheels, processing circuitry which may include a memory unit and may be configured to receive the rolling radius data from the sensor network, and a user interface which may display information to an operator of the vehicle. The processing circuitry may be further configured to determine a rolling radius of the front wheels and the rear wheels, determine a difference in the rolling radius between the front wheels and the rear wheels, compare the difference in the rolling radius to a predetermined threshold value, and generate a notification via the user interface to indicate that a tire rotation may be recommended responsive to the difference in the rolling radius exceeding the predetermined threshold value.
