Tyre tread depth step gauge

Check tyre tread depth against the legal limit

Push the three teeth into a main groove of the tyre: if the 1.6 mm tooth bottoms out with the bar touching the tread, the tyre is at the UK and EU legal limit; the 3 mm and 4 mm teeth show when to start shopping for winter and summer tyres.
