Description
Professional Workshop Instrumentation
Digital Tyre Tread
Depth Gauge
Laboratory-grade measurement precision engineered for the workshop floor. Instant digital readout. MOT-ready accuracy. Built for professionals who cannot afford to guess.
The Case for Precision
Why Measurement Accuracy Is Non-Negotiable
The UK legal minimum tread depth of 1.6mm leaves almost no margin for error. A mechanical gauge misread by even 0.3mm can mean the difference between a roadworthy vehicle and a £2,500 fine with three penalty points. This digital gauge eliminates analogue ambiguity entirely — delivering a clear, unambiguous reading every time, in under two seconds.
Designed for MOT technicians, fleet managers, and workshop professionals who process multiple vehicles daily, this tool combines the accuracy of a laboratory instrument with the durability demanded by a commercial workshop environment.
±0.01mm Precision
Professional-grade accuracy verified against UK legal tread depth standards. Eliminates the reading errors inherent in mechanical dial gauges.
Instant LCD Readout
Large, high-contrast digital display delivers an unambiguous measurement at a glance — no parallax error, no squinting at analogue scales.
Slim Probe Design
Precision-machined measuring tip accesses deep tread grooves and narrow channels across all tyre profiles — from compact cars to light commercial vehicles.
mm / Inch Switching
Instant unit toggle between metric and imperial. Ideal for workshops servicing both UK and European-spec vehicles with mixed documentation standards.
Auto-Off Battery Saving
Automatic power-off function preserves battery life between jobs. Battery included — ready to use straight from the box.
Workshop-Grade Build
Robust construction withstands the rigours of daily professional use. Compact form factor fits comfortably in a technician's pocket or tool roll.
Applications
Built for Every Professional Use Case
UK Legal Tread Depth Requirements
Legal minimum: 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, around the entire circumference. Failure to comply carries a fine of up to £2,500 and 3 penalty points per tyre.
Recommended replacement threshold: 3mm — the point at which wet-weather braking performance begins to degrade significantly, as confirmed by independent tyre safety research.
New tyre reference: Most new tyres are supplied with 7–8mm of tread depth. This gauge covers the full wear lifecycle from new to legal limit and beyond.
