Rueda Lens reads tire sidewalls from an image and returns the exact size, specs, and compatible vehicles in seconds. Add image-based search to your store with a single API.
The biggest barrier in online tire sales
Your customers want to buy tires online, but most get stuck at the first step.
They don’t know their tire size and drop off
Most drivers have never looked at their tire sidewall. When your site asks for a size, they leave.
Manual input leads to errors and returns
Customers who enter their size manually can make mistakes, leading to incorrect orders.
Vehicle search isn’t enough
The same vehicle can have multiple tire sizes depending on trim, year, and factory options.
Now you can add a new way to search: by photo.
How it works
Your customer takes a photo, Rueda Lens analyzes it, and your site shows the results.

Frequently asked questions
Everything product, developer, and procurement teams need to know about Rueda Lens.
What is Rueda Lens?
Rueda Lens is a B2B tire image recognition API that reads sidewall markings from a single photo and returns the exact tire size, full specifications, and compatible vehicles in seconds. It is designed for online tire retailers who want to replace manual size entry with a camera-first search experience. Rueda Lens is built by Tire&GO, a Spanish technology company that also provides online booking software and ERP tooling for tire workshops.How does tire image recognition work?
A customer takes a photo of the tire sidewall with any phone camera from your online store. Your storefront forwards the image to the Rueda Lens API, which reads the sidewall markings, extracts the full tire specification (section width, aspect ratio, rim diameter, load index, and speed rating), and cross-references a catalog of 257+ vehicle brands to return compatible models, trim variants, and factory tire pressures as structured JSON. The entire exchange is a single HTTP request and a single structured response.What information can Rueda Lens extract from a tire sidewall photo?
Every response includes the full tire size notation (for example 225/45R17 91W), individual dimensions (section width, aspect ratio, rim diameter), load index, speed rating, and manufacturer-recommended front and rear pressures. It also returns the compatible vehicle brand, model, trim variants, and production year range. Each result is tagged with a confidence score and a request ID for logging and debugging.Can Rueda Lens identify the vehicle from a tire photo alone?
Yes. The API ships with two modes. The `single` mode uses only the tire image and returns the compatible vehicles based on what is visible in the photo. The `dual` mode combines the tire photo with an optional car photo for a more precise identification when the use case allows it. Both modes return brand, model, trim variants, and start/end year for every match.How do I integrate Rueda Lens into an online tire store?
Integration is a single `POST /v1/analyze` request authenticated with an `rdlns_sk_` API key. The response is a structured JSON payload that your frontend or search service can map directly to a product catalog, PIM, or SKU index. There is no SDK to install — any HTTP client works — and developer teams typically ship a first integration in minutes, not days. Full documentation, example requests, and recipes live at docs.ruedalens.com.Which vehicle brands and fitments does Rueda Lens cover?
The catalog includes 257+ vehicle makes spanning European, American, Asian, and emerging-market brands. Fitment data is enriched against a dedicated automotive database that is maintained continuously, so coverage tracks new model releases rather than freezing at launch. Edge cases and regional brands can be requested by Enterprise customers.Where is image data processed and stored?
All images are processed and stored inside the European Union. Rueda Lens uses EU-resident object storage with a 30-day retention window for every uploaded image, GDPR-aligned data handling, per-API-key rate limiting, and full request logging for traceability. Enterprise customers can negotiate custom retention windows, data residency clauses, and dedicated SLAs.How much does Rueda Lens cost?
Rueda Lens uses transparent usage-based pricing. It starts with a free Sandbox plan that includes 100 requests per month — no credit card required — and scales through tiered paid plans (Starter, Pro, Enterprise) with metered overage on any additional requests. High-volume retailers can negotiate a custom pay-as-you-go plan with its own quota and overage rate. Every plan includes unlimited API keys and full access to the analytics dashboard. Current prices and quotas are listed in the pricing section above.
