A system and method for estimating a tread depth of a tire (12) supporting a vehicle (14) is disclosed. The tire (12) includes a pair of sidewalls (18) extending to a circumferential tread (20). The system (10) includes a drive over reader (26), wherein the drive over reader (26) includes: a housing (28); at least one sensor (30) mounted in the housing (28) to generate an image of at least an area of the tire tread (20) or of at least an area image of a footprint of the tire tread (20) such that the tread depth in the respective area can be determined from the image; and at least one piezoelectric actuator (32) mounted on the housing (28) and electrically connected to the at least one sensor (30) to actuate the at least one sensor (30).
