Description
Tyre Tread Depth Gauge
1–26mm | DVSA Approved
Precision-engineered for MOT testing, workshop inspections, and fleet safety programmes. Measure tread depth in seconds — with the confidence of DVSA approval and ±0.25mm accuracy.
The Standard for Tyre Safety Measurement
The UK legal minimum tyre tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. Falling below this limit is not only an MOT failure — it carries a £2,500 fine and three penalty points per tyre. This professional tyre tread depth gauge gives you an instant, accurate reading every time, with a clearly marked 1.6mm indicator so there is never any ambiguity. Compact enough to slip into a pocket, robust enough for daily workshop use.

Who Uses This Gauge
UK Legal Tread Depth Requirement
Under UK law (Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986), car tyres must have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre around the entire circumference.
