SnapSkan makes measuring tyre tread depth quick and easy by utilising the latest 3D scanning technology, with scanning ramps installed at parking garages’ exits or entries. As cars drive over the scanner ramp when entering or exiting the parking garage, SnapSkan automatically scans the tyres. Driver can opt-in by SMS or online either before or after the scanning to get the digital report of their tyres’ condition. If they choose not to opt-in, all the information SnapSkan has gathered of the vehicle will be permanently deleted within a week. If they opt-in for the report, it is sent to the driver’s mobile device totally free of charge. The report includes the measurements of tyre treads and a code that offers a discount on new tyres in selected stores.

SnapSkan is the world’s first tyre scanning service that is fully automatic and available at a public location to everyone, the service is now launching five new checking points in the Nordic countries, setting up Nokian Tyres apart from other tyre manufacturers. The new service allows the tyre manufacturer to let drivers know about the condition of their tyres while educating them about what effects tyre condition has on road safety in general, explains Hille Korhonen, President & CEO for Nokian Tyres.


The free-of-charge SnapSkan service and drive-over scanners can be located in places that drivers usually visit, eliminating the need for a separate stop or a drive to a checking station, the service works with all tyre brands of passenger cars. SnapSkan was first introduced in 2016 at the technology and startup event Slush. A prototype of the service was in use at a multi-storey parking garage in Helsinki and the first customer service point was opened in June 2017 in a parking garage in Turku, Finland. The customer feedback from these first two service points was used to develop the entire SnapSkan consumer service even further.

This week, a total of four new SnapSkan service points will be opened in parking garages in various locations across Finland. SnapSkan is also going international with the opening of a new service point in Oslo, Norway. This is the first SnapSkan service point outside of Finland.
