An external tire reader can be configured to read a tire tread. The external tire reader can include an offset structure, a camera system, and a controller. The offset structure can be configured to be applied to the tire tread. The camera system can be configured to generate an image of the tire tread while the offset structure is applied to the tire tread. The offset structure can be configured to provide a fixed distance between the camera system and the tire tread while the offset structure is applied to the tire tread. The controller can be coupled with the camera system. The controller can be configured to process the image of the tire received from the camera system.
