This paper presents an innovative digital method to analyze agricultural tire profiles based on pictures. This method can conclude that vertical load and inflation pressure changes cause tire deformation. The first stage in this method is 3D scanning; the vertical cross-section is created from the obtained picture of the tested tire. From this cross-section, the deflection of the tire can be determined. Then, the horizontal cross-section is formed: this operation determines the tire’s contact area at the highest vertical deformation. Obtained results can be helpful to make the tire deformation characteristic. The contact pressure values can be determined (even through laboratory testing, without research in field conditions). The knowledge about contact pressure allows taking some actions to reduce soil compaction. In the description of the method, the radial tire was used, but the structure and equipment of the test bench allow the use of cross-ply tires with different dimensions.
