Carpoint Tyre Tread Depth Gauge

With the compact Carpoint tread gauge you can easily measure how much tread the tyre still has. A good profile on the tyres is essential because the car tyres are the only contact the car has with the road surface. The profile gauge has a measuring range of 0-26 millimetres. A good profile on the tyre reduces the chance of aquaplaning, among other things. The legal minimum tread depth for summer and winter tyres in the Netherlands is 1.6 millimetres. If you are going to measure, measure at several points. So in the centre of the tyre, but also on the inside and outside of the tyre. It is possible that the car tyre has worn off crookedly.
