Fountain Tire "highway 44" (2017) 2:08 (Canada)

Highway 44 is one of Alberta, Canada’s deadliest highways especially in winter thanks to black ice, and blinding snow conditions. What's even worse is that if you have worn tire treads, your chances of having an accident increase by 26%. FCB Canada and Fountain Tire wanted to do something about it this winter. So they set up a tire tread-depth-reader in front of rest-stop gas pumps right off of Highway 44. That way when people stopped for gas, they also got their tires analyzed. They used 3D imaging to determine the tire-tread depth. More than 30% of the drivers who stopped for gas failed the test, too.
Now, here's where this idea goes from being interesting to being a smart piece of branding. If people who stopped for gas got their tires analyzed and failed the tread-depth test, they got a free set of tires to ensure they'd drive safely. Smart move on Fountain Tire's part.
