A tire tread depth gauge gives you a number you can track instead of guessing how much tread is left. The Preciva digital gauge displays millimeters, decimal inches, and fractional inches, with a large screen that makes readings easy to see.
In my demonstration, I zero the gauge on a flat surface, position its base across a tread groove, and repeat readings at the same spot. I also explain how checking the inner, center, and outer grooves at several positions around a tire can reveal uneven wear.
