Log tire wear and photos
Last updated Oct 1, 2026
Record what each tire looked like after a run, next to its pressures, temperatures, and session. Wear tags and photos work on Free; you do not need a tire set to record them.
Add wear to a tire check
- Open the session's Setup tab. Under Tire check, tap + or open an existing reading.
- Choose Cold or Hot. Find the tire on the vehicle diagram and tap its Wear control.
- Tap the signs you observed, such as Even wear, Graining, Rubber pickup, Cold tear, Overheated / blistered, Flat spot, Chunking, or Cords / wear marks showing. Cars also offer Feathering; motorcycles offer Hot tear.
- For a selected sign, mark where it appears on the tread: Inner, Middle, or Outer. Motorcycles use Left, Centre, and Right. You can select more than one zone or leave the location unmarked.
- Return to the tire check and tap Save. Closing the wear view alone does not save the check.
These are your observations. LapperSnapper stores them without automatically diagnosing the cause.
Add a photo
- Use Add photo on the corner, or the photo controls inside its Wear view.
- On a phone, choose Take photo or Choose photo. Allow camera or photo access if asked. In a browser, choose a file from the browser's picker.
- Keep the whole tread width in frame and use a consistent angle for later comparisons. Each tire can have up to three photos per check.
- Tap a thumbnail to view it. Long-press a thumbnail to remove it while editing. Finish by tapping Save on the tire check.
You can log tags and photos with every pressure and temperature field empty. To remove a tag, tap it again. Deleting the whole reading also removes its wear notes and photos from the check.
Local storage, backup, and sharing
On Free, your wear notes and photos work on the device. In the web app without Pro backup, photos stay in that browser; the Wear view shows Photos are stored in this browser. Personal Pro cloud sync backs up wear notes and photos with the session. Team wear follows the Team session's access and editing rules.
For comparisons across runs, see Review tire wear history. For the pressure and temperature fields, see Log your tire pressures.
