Digital Tire Tread Depth Gauge — LCD, mm/inch, 0–12.7 mm

Check tyre tread with a clear digital reading

This compact digital gauge places a probe into the main tread groove and displays the measurement on its LCD. It is useful for monitoring wear across multiple points of a tyre and comparing the result with local legal limits and the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.

How to use

1. Place the gauge on a flat reference surface and press ZERO.
2. Extend the probe into a main tread groove.
3. Keep the base square against the tread block.
4. Record several readings across and around the tyre.
5. Compare the lowest reading with local requirements and professional advice.

Key features

• Stated 0–12.7 mm measuring range for routine tread-depth checks.
• mm and inch unit selection for convenient readings.
• LCD readout for viewing the measurement.
• Zero function for setting the reference before use.
• Stainless-steel probe and compact ABS body stated.

Important accuracy and safety note

• The old listing says “0.01 mm accuracy”, but this may describe display resolution rather than verified measurement accuracy.
• Do not advertise confirmed 0.01 mm accuracy until the manual or supplier documentation verifies it.
• Use readings as a maintenance aid, not as a substitute for professional tyre inspection or local legal guidance.
• Measure several grooves and compare the lowest result, especially when tread wear looks uneven.
