<\/a><\/a>\nEmbedded directly into an existing automotive retailer\u2019s website, TireSpec enables consumers to simply tap a button, photograph their tire with their smartphone, and receive replacement tire recommendations and pricing in seconds. It can be accessed anywhere on an existing website, on both mobile devices and even desktops via QR code scanning or by clicking a button. There is no app to download, no tire size to manually enter, and no need to know the vehicle's trim level, VIN, or tire specifications.<\/p>
\nMore than 90% of consumers now begin their tire shopping journey online, and mobile devices have become the primary tool for researching prices, comparing brands, and deciding where to buy. Yet despite this digital shift, most dealership and repair facility websites still rely on outdated tire search tools that require customers to manually enter tire sizes, vehicle information, or other technical details that many vehicle owners don't know. TireSpec was built to eliminate the friction that comes from the frustration consumers feel when they navigate additional clicks, form fields, or confusing menu options, which increases the likelihood that shoppers abandon the process entirely.<\/p>
\nUsing advanced artificial intelligence, computer vision, and a proprietary optical character recognition (OCR), the TireSpec website widget reads the tire sidewall directly from a smartphone photo and instantly identifies the tire specifications needed to generate accurate replacement recommendations and pricing.<\/p>
\n\u201cDealerships, tire retailers and facilities spend thousands of dollars every month driving consumers to their websites through search, advertising, and digital marketing,\u201d said Brad Kokesh, President & CEO of TraXtion. \u201cTireSpec helps them capitalize on that investment by removing the biggest obstacle in online tire shopping. Instead of asking customers to figure out their year, make, model and tire size, we simply ask them to take a picture. Within seconds they\u2019re viewing replacement options and pricing, all without leaving the website. It\u2019s as easy as point, snap, quote.\u201d<\/p>
\nUnlike traditional online tire search tools, TireSpec lets the tire become the search engine. Consumers no longer need to decipher sidewall markings, search through multiple menus, or enter confusing alphanumeric tire sizes. Instead, a single image becomes the starting point for the entire purchasing process.<\/p>
\n\u201cFor years, the automotive industry has focused on improving how we sell vehicles online, while one of the most common service purchases and retention drivers has remained unnecessarily difficult,\u201d Kokesh added. \u201cTireSpec changes that. We created a solution that removes friction from the tire buying process, keeps consumers engaged on the dealership or repair facility\u2019s website, and turns a simple smartphone photo into an opportunity to earn or retain a customer\u2019s business.\u201d<\/p>
