Determine tire tread condition without guess work. This tire tread depth gauge has a round aluminum indicator bar that is calibrated for measurements from 0" to 1" by 1/32" markings. The contact tip is profiled to work in narrow spaces between tread.
Does a much better job of measuring tire depth vs using a quarter to measure 4/32" or a penny for 2/32" (to the top of the head). Hard to find in parts stores so ordering on-line is convenient.
tread depth gauge review
I've wanted a tread depth gauge for a long time. The old "insert a coin in the tire tread" method was just not telling me what I wanted to know. I think this is going to be a worthwhile tool to have over the next several years. The measurement markings are a little hard to read, but the price of the tool is right, and it works just fine for me.
Great tool
Everyone should have one of these to monitor the tire wear. Catch an issue and get repairs done before the tire is worn beyond saving.
Best tread depth gauge purchased so far
This gauge does not easily move around, like some of the other gauges I have. It holds the depth until you can view and record it. Nice product and a great price.
Metalic and sturdy
I bought this because of all the good reviews. It would have cost $5.40 to ship 1 and about .20c each to ship additional ones on the same order.
So I bought 5 in order to get free shipping and also to save on shipping in case i needed any in the future
Final cost for 5, $29.10 as opposed to $55.50 if I was to purchase & ship separately.
As far as the product itself, no complaints so far. I only had for a few days and it simple to use. I intend to keep a spare and give the rest as gifts.
