Common applications

A tyre tread depth gauge is an essential tool for checking the tyre tread depth on the tyres of a vehicle such as a car and making sure they are within the legal limit.

What is the legal limit for tyre tread?

The legal limit and minimum tyre tread depth is a constant 1.6 mm around the central three-quarters of the tyre.

How to use an electric tyre tread depth gauge?

Before using the digital tread depth gauge, ensure that the base is situated on a flat surface and has been zeroed. Next, ensure the base is located firmly on the surface of the tyre and the probe is touching the bottom on the tread. Once in contact, the results will be visible on the digital display screen.

Why do you need to check the tyre tread depth?

Checking your tyre tread depth on car tyres, for example, is not only a legal requirement but also helps to prevent serious accidents from poor tyre quality. If your tyre tread depth is too low, it can cause aquaplaning, reduced control of the vehicle and can cause the tyre to deteriorate at a faster rate.

Why use a digital tread depth gauge?

Digital tyre tread depth gauges are highly versatile and take the guesswork out of checking the tyre tread depth, as the machine will automatically check and display the results on the digital display screen. Digital depth gauges are highly accurate and easy to use, making them an ideal item for checking tread depth.
