GODESON Tire Tread Depth Gauge,Digital Tire Tread Depth Gauge in 1Inch/25.4mm with Color-Coded Bar, Easy Read Tire Depth Gauge for Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles

Every trucker needs to keep an I eye on his or her tires

Very convenient! Great value. Very durable

Works very well and seems sturdy. The only thing I would like to see is the damping a little stiffer (so the indicator wouldn't move as easily).

I'm a Turo host and need to provide proof of tire tread pretty much daily. This tool works great, but it's a bit tall for my economy car's wheel well. I need to get photos of it actually in place on the tire and I haven't quite figured out how to do that. If it were more like 1" tall rather than 1" wide it would work better for me. Anyway, works great, just a matter of being able to prove the measurement I have in my hand was taken from the tire in a photograph.

A must have tool for a DIY'er

Very easy to use and check tire tread thickness. They provided an accurate rating so I knew when to get new tires. Easy to store in the car, small size to for in glove box.

is a good tool

The media could not be loaded. The measuring strip is sloppy within the slot and leads to inconsistent reading, reducing accuracy (SEE ATTACHED VIDEO). Just a tap towards one side and the measurement can be off by as much as 0.10mm, so the resolution of 0.01mm is just marketing. Expect no more than +/-0.1mm accuracy from this instrument.I wish the base where the pin sticks out was wider on all sides so it doesn't teeter totter while I try to perform a consistent measurement. Ideally, one should measure tread depth with the pin as perpendicular to the tire as possible, so a wider base would help guarantee that.I also wish there was a way to lock/fix the strip in place after a measurement so if I bump the strip, I don't have to remeasure again. Digital calipers solve this problem with a lock screw. This is speaking from experience of using this in a narrow wheel well of a sedan, where there is only just enough of a gap to insert this tool between the tire and wheel well. I frequently bumped the tool against the wheel well edge and had to remeasure because I lost confidence in the measurement.All that being said...I just needed a tool that can measure the tires in situ (though my point becomes moot for the front tires because you can just turn them out to get better access to the sipes). The typical recommendation is to rotate tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, but I wanted to verify just how much tread difference accumulates on my vehicle before a rotation is due. However, I'll be keeping this tool because it's a cheap and a neat little tool to have. Definitely more accurate than my finger.You just can't expect high accuracy at this price range, but maybe most people aren't looking for high accuracy like me.
