Why Every Garage Needs a Reliable Tyre Tread Depth Gauge
The Tyre Tread Depth Gauge from Lomex Ltd is an essential tool for garages, MOT centres and tyre workshops across the UK. Designed to accurately measure tyre tread depth in seconds, this analogue gauge helps mechanics and motorists ensure tyres meet the legal minimum tread depth of 1.6mm – keeping vehicles safe and road-legal at all times.
Tyre tread depth measurement is not just a legal requirement; it is a critical road safety check. Worn tyres dramatically increase stopping distances in wet weather and raise the risk of aquaplaning. With this pocket-sized analogue tread depth gauge, your team can perform fast, reliable readings on every vehicle that enters your workshop.

How to Use a Tyre Tread Depth Gauge
Using this tyre tread depth gauge is straightforward. Insert the probe into the tyre’s main tread groove, press the base of the gauge flat against the tread block and read the measurement on the analogue dial. The process takes just a few seconds per tyre and gives you an accurate reading every time.
For MOT inspections, the legal minimum tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre and around the entire circumference. Many tyre professionals recommend replacing tyres at 3mm for improved wet weather safety. This gauge makes it simple to identify tyres that are borderline or below the legal limit, enabling you to advise customers confidently.
