Claim:
1. A method for tread selection to select a tread to attach to a tread side of a tire casing in a tire, comprising: a) measuring at least one characteristic value indicating at least a tire pressure with a tire condition measurement unit, the tire condition measurement unit having at least a TPMS for measuring the tire pressure, and transmitting the at least one characteristic value to a casing life prediction unit via radio wave; b) receiving the at least one characteristic value, estimating internal pressure application time equivalent to the amount of time internal pressure is applied based on the at least one characteristic value measured in step a); and predicting a remaining life of the tire casing based on the internal pressure application time using the casing life prediction; c) selecting, by a tread selection unit, at least one recommended tread in accordance with the remaining life of the tire casing predicted in step b) from among a plurality of treads attachable to the tire casing, using wear life information calculated in advance for each of the treads and stored in database; and d) transforming a display screen of a terminal to display the at least one recommended tread selected in step c).
