Description
Tyre Tread Depth Gauge
1–26mm with 1.6mm Legal Limit Marker
The precision instrument every workshop, fleet operator, and safety-conscious driver needs. Instant, accurate tread readings — with the UK legal minimum built right in.
Know Before You Drive. Know Before You Fail.
In the UK, tyres worn below the 1.6mm legal minimum tread depth carry a £2,500 fine and three penalty points — per tyre. This compact, push-read gauge removes all guesswork. A single press delivers a clear, calibrated reading across the full 1–26mm range, with the legal threshold permanently marked so there is never any ambiguity.
Engineered for daily use in professional environments, it slips into a toolbox drawer, glovebox, or workshop apron pocket with ease. Whether you are running pre-MOT checks, managing a fleet, or simply keeping your customers safe, this gauge delivers the confidence of a professional instrument at a fraction of the cost.
