ABSTRACT:
A tire tread catcher consisting of canister that catches tread as they are thrown off tire(s) and a housing surrounding the tire(s) to funnel and direct tread and road debris to the canister. The canister is attached to a truck or trailer undercarriage adjacent to and right behind the tires. The canister is open towards the tire and may have a scope shaped bottom edge. The housing encloses the front and sides of the tire. The front plate of the housing can be tapered to reduce wind resistance. The side plates also reduces wind resistance and protects the tire(s) from sun exposure. The housing helps to ensure any tread thrown off the tire is directed towards the canister, where the tread and debris is captured and retained.
