Anyline TireBuddy
Anyline's TireBuddy App streamlines tire inspections by enabling technicians to assess tire health with a smartphone, allowing dealerships and workshops to boost sales, build customer trust, and improve operational efficiency. A shareable inspection report is automatically generated, which highlights issues like low tread depth, uneven wear, wheel misalignment, aging tires, and mismatched sets.

Anyline products are built to deliver fast and reliable data capture solutions. There are however, certain factors that can limit or negatively impact data capture speed and accuracy. These are factors for which we are not responsible and cannot assume any warranty or liability. The factors include but are not limited to, for example:
- Non-compliance with technical requirements for the specific product and/or module, as set forth in this Datasheet or otherwise agreed
- An unsuitable scanning environment, such as scanning an object under extreme lighting conditions or from a far distance
- Any obstructions on the object that you wish to scan, such as obscured text or a very shiny surface
- The quality of an image you try to scan, for example images that are blurry, out of focus or low resolution images
- Incorrect handling by users, such as using the products with a lack of sufficient experience or unsteady hands (Please read the TireBuddy user guide on best practices for getting optimal results.)
