Godeson Tyre Tread Depth Gauge UK, 6-Sided Smart Color Coded Tyres Depth Measurement Tool in 25MM/32nds

Great price. Good quality, keeps my peace of mind before going on a long trip, knowing my tyres are safe. Very convenient, just keep in the car and not an eyesore.

This is such a simple device, but so useful. It means saving monwy, as I wont replace my tires until I know I have to. 👍

This is a useful tool to have around. As a rather safety conscious person, I thought it'd be good to periodically check my tyre depth. Very easy to use, just put the needle in the deepest parts of the tyres across the central 3/4 of the tyre and measure the depth! This is a great tool to check up on my tyres. The only issue is that the scale is quite fiddly to read. That's not a major issue, but it would be useful to have one large scale in mm. I find I don't need to use the inch scale, but maybe its useful for others! Overall, a great tool to have on hand!

A really useful little tool for checking tyre condition accurately. I bought the GODESON tread depth gauge because I was preparing my car to be handed back at the end of a PCP agreement and wanted to make sure the tyres were within the required tread depth before the car was collected. It’s very straightforward to use simply place the gauge into the tread and the reading is clear and easy to understand. The glow-in-the-dark design is a nice touch, especially when checking tyres in darker conditions or a garage. It’s small enough to keep in the glovebox and feels well made for such an inexpensive item. It gave me peace of mind knowing I had checked all four tyres myself before handing the car back, rather than relying solely on the collection inspection. A handy tool for anyone regularly checking their tyres or preparing a car for return.

Very good tool for price. Markings on barrel tell you clearly how much tyre depth you have. Well made item

The numbers are too small for a quick glance unless you have damn good young eyesight. Would have been better to have a lesser number of divisons between mm but have them a larger size. The glow in dark idea is a gimmick. Basically you need good light and keen eyes to see this. I also purchased the dial type version from another supplier which was brilliant and a much better idea.

Works well, the tyre caps fit on easily and securely, and the tyre gauge is relatively easy to read.

I wanted a traditional simple tread depth guide and this looked the best. It’s ok and what I wanted, just not as well made as the old one I used to have.

TEL que décrit et facile d’utilisation

I wanted to make sure that my winter tires' treads were still deep enough so I wouldn't have problems driving in icy or snow conditions, and this depth gauge is perfect. To sum things up, it is simple and effective. I recommend this gauge to anyone, it saves you money so you don't have to pay a mechanic to measure tire depth, also from those want to rip you off by telling you that you have to buy new tires. As long as the depth is still good (showing as green on the gauge), then your tires are still safe.

All my life I've used the penny method ("if you can't see the top of Abe's head, you need new tires"). And it worked just fine. Only problem was, on rear tires where you can't crank the wheels to display the entire tread, it was sometimes hard to get accurate readings on the INSIDE edge. Also, it only told you if your tires were OK, not how much tread you had left. So I decided to get a gauge. I found many. Some were pricey...I don't need a gauge THAT badly. These Godeson gauges were very inexpensive, and the problems described in the 1- and 2-star ratings seemed minor. Besides, I thought it would be nice to have two -- one in my shop, one in my tool-box...I decided to give them a try. They arrived today. I got the ones showing both MM and 32nds of an inch. They are much better than I expected. As others have noted, the calibration was just a bit off. That is, with the gauge pressed down on a hard, flat surface, they both read a fraction above zero, both by about 1/64". To get them to read zero, I had to grind a bit off the ends of the blades on a diamond sharpening stone -- I had to be careful not to grind off too much. Once the zero settings were achieved (three minutes to do both), I tested their readings, using a good caliper, for various depths from an eighth of an inch up to about half an inch. All readings matched the calipers within a couple thousandths of an inch. OK, I'm a perfectionist. Please understand, I didn't have to do any modification to these gauges: RIGHT OUT OF THE PACKAGE, they would have given me readings accurate to 1/64th of an inch. Who really needs better than that? As to their ability to hold a reading, they both have some sort of damping in the barrel to keep the blade held in place. I have no way of knowing if this will be true...they could loosen up in time. If they do, I'll find a way to tighten them up, shouldn't be rocket surgery. And if needed, I can buy two more for about the price of a caramel frappuccino.

Very good service from seller, quick delivery.
