Tire Size Specifications

Tile Plugin

Tire Size Example

The Anyline scanner for Tire Size Specifications saves a lot of time and effort by reading and digitizing tire sidewall information in a fraction of a second.

The Tire Size Specifications provide information about certain properties of the tire, including vehicle type, width, aspect ratio, construction, RIM diameter, load index and speed rating.

Examples

A couple of different examples can be found at Anyline Demos and Samples: Tire Size Specifications.

Supported Formats

  • Allowed characters: [A-HJ-NP-Z0-9/+-&().]
  • Optimized to scan single-line Tire Size Specifications with 10 to 20 characters
  • Usually the Tire Size Specifications are placed twice on one tire, once larger and once smaller, reading of both variants is supported, whereas the smaller variant often contains more information, therefore the scanner is optimized for the smaller and longer variant
  • The scanner provides automatic upside down detection
  • The string needs to follow this format (characters in brackets are optionally), which is the typical format for tires on passenger cars:
    • (X)000/00(X)X0000(0)X
    • (X)000/00(X)X00(X)
    • (X)000/00X00X(0)00/(0)00X
  • Examples:
    • 225/40R18 92V
    • 125/80 R 13 65 Q
    • 225/45R17 91W
    • 185/65R15 92V
    • 225/55 R17 101W M+S
    • M+S 185/65 R15 101W
    • P205/55R16 98V
    • LT195/75R16 C 107/105R

If you want to also support other formats than typical tire sizes of passenger cars, use the validationRegex configuration parameter to pass your desired format as a regular expression. Please be aware that changing the validationRegex might has influence on the parameter extraction.
