Review on 📏 Milton 448 Tire Tread Depth Gauge - Bulk Purchase of 10 to Ensure Accuracy by Ricardo Knight

This is a handy tool that's better than guessing whether your tires are reliable or not. I would say it's a must have for any auto mechanic or mechanic. However, if you're a regular car owner like me, you can do the same job without spending any money at all. Pros: Accurate and not very expensive. Cons: For some cars like my neighbor's old Honda Civic. The space around the tires is too tight to fit inside. No instructions for laypeople like me. I had to watch several YouTube videos to figure out how to use this material. All you need is a reading of 4/32 (to consider replacing) and 2/32 (as a red flag that your tire is already dead). ), so the rest is little more than you'll ever use. Also, to save space, the marks are all over the cylinder, so you may have to keep turning it until you see the spirit level. For the simplest purpose of checking your car once or twice a year, you don't need this level of equipment. All it takes is a dime and a quarter and pass the old-school test. Place the penny upside down and insert it into the tire thread. If the splint covers Lincoln's hairline, then the thread is lower than 2/32 (Lincoln's head is exactly 2/32 of an inch from the edge of the coin). However, a penny test is not enough. You will also need to repeat the same with a quarter and if the thread covers the Washington head it means the thread is deeper than 4/32 inch. Then that's all you need to know, your tire is roadworthy and you should check it regularly. -- If Washington's head fails and Lincoln's head passes, then consider changing your tires soon (sooner if it's winter time) -- If both tests fail, then you're not only breaking the law, you're risking your life .
