Highway 44 has become one of Alberta, Canada’s deadliest stretches of highway. This winter, FCB Canada and Fountain Tire set out to change that by checking something that plays a significant role in vehicle collisions, but people rarely think about: tire tread depth. To do so, FCB Canada and Fountain Tire set up a tread-depth-reader in front of rest-stop gas pumps located just minutes from Highway 44. When people filled up, tires were analyzed and drivers knew whether they were safe to drive on or not, before they got onto Highway 44. People that failed were given a free set of tires to ensure that they got home safe.
