Tyre Tread Depth Gauge, Preciva Burgundy 0-25.4mm/Inch Digital Tire Surface Checker UK Measuring Tool UK with Large LCD Screen for Cars, Trucks, Vans

it’s just perfect and handy tool to check your tyres legal requirements . wide screen, easy to use. smart size of box to keep it tidy.

Easy to use and very Accurate. I would purchase again.

One of many generic digital gauges of this type, this one caught my eye for the slightly larger display. This, and not having to squint at etched lines on a sliding bar gauge, means it's easier to read and more likely to get used because of it. As some reviewers have mentioned the slightest knock will turn it on which means it's not going to live in your pocket (a power hold or lock switch would have been nice), but it comes with a battery installed and a spare in the box so I won't need a new battery any time soon. Plus this gauge remembers what mode it was in when you turned it off, which some don't do. That sounds trivial but when we tend to measure tyre depth in milimetres in this country, having a gauge that always starts up in inches is a bit of a pain. I've only deducted a star for the absence of a power hold switch. In all other respects this is a great tool and I'll just leave it in the box for safe-keeping when it's not being used.

Fiddly but does the job.

Easy to use. Good value of money

Accurate and I like and dislike the auto on feature. It is handy to not have to remember to press the on button but is very sensitive so turns on easily by accident and then you have to zero it when you reset. We have large wheel arches and I struggle to fit this in as well, and it is difficult to retain the read when removing it to view.

Good item ideal for checking before MOT

I bought this tyre tread depth gauge to check my tyres before booking in for replacements, and it ended up saving me a good £250. What I thought were “near-limit” tyres still had plenty of legal tread left, so this paid for itself instantly. The gauge is easy to use and gives a clear digital reading in both mm and inches. Measurements seem consistent across all tyres, and it’s reassuring to have an actual number rather than relying on visual checks or the advice of a garage. The screen is clear and easy to read, even in low light. Build quality is decent for the price. It’s lightweight and feels a bit plasticky, but it does the job accurately enough for home checks. The zero/reset function works well, although it’s worth double-checking readings if you’re moving quickly between tyres. Overall, a very handy tool for anyone who wants to keep an eye on tyre wear and avoid unnecessary replacements. Not premium-grade, but excellent value and genuinely useful — just short of five stars.
