Tire Tread Depth Gauges
The best way to monitor tread wear is with a Tread Depth Gauge.
The gauge can detect a wear pattern sooner than visibly looking
at the tread. Unusual wear patterns in the tire can be caused by
incorrect air pressure, loose or worn steering parts, driving patterns,
load conditions, etc. When a wear pattern is detected using the
Tread Depth Gauge, you can search for the cause before excessive
tread wear occurs or the tire is ruined.

Use the Tread
Depth Gauge, which reads in 32nds of an inch, when
the tread depth on your tires is 1" or less. To use
this gauge, follow the steps below.
|
|
|
Push the plunger all the way down.
|
|
|
Place the probe into the tire groove and push
down on the gauge.

Lift up by the base of the gauge to check the
gauge reading.

The higher the number the more tread depth
on the tire. This gauge reads in 32nds and MM.
