Connected Vehicles: Automatic Mileage Tracking

One of the biggest barriers to accurate tyre tracking is keeping your mileage up to date. Wear predictions are only as good as the data behind them — and if your mileage is out of date, your replacement estimates will be too.

That’s why Tyre Tracks now integrates with connected vehicles.

How It Works

If you drive a supported connected vehicle, Tyre Tracks can pull your odometer reading directly from your car’s telemetry. No manual entry, no guessing, no forgetting.

Currently, the app supports:

  • Tesla vehicles via the Tesla API
  • Volvo vehicles via the Volvo Connected Vehicle API
  • Audi vehicles via the Audi Connect API
  • Porsche vehicles via the Porsche Connect API

Once you’ve authorised the connection (a one-time setup through the app), your mileage updates automatically.

Why Accurate Mileage Matters

Tyre Tracks estimates your replacement dates based on two things: your tread depth measurements and the distance you’ve driven between them. This gives the app your wear rate — how much tread you’re losing per mile.

If your mileage is inaccurate:

  • Wear rates will be wrong
  • Replacement dates will be unreliable
  • You might be caught off guard by tyres that need replacing sooner than expected

Automatic mileage tracking eliminates this problem entirely.

Privacy First

Your vehicle connection is authenticated through your car manufacturer’s official API. Tyre Tracks only reads odometer data — it doesn’t access your location, driving history, or any other personal data.

You can disconnect your vehicle at any time from within the app.

What If My Car Isn’t Supported?

No problem. Manual mileage entry still works perfectly. You can update your mileage whenever you log a measurement, and the app will calculate your wear rates from there.

We’re actively working on adding support for more manufacturers. If there’s a brand you’d like to see, let us know.

Set It and Forget It

Connected vehicle integration is the kind of feature that works best when you forget it exists. Your mileage stays current, your predictions stay accurate, and you can focus on what matters — knowing when your tyres need attention.
