GODESON Dial Type Tire Tread Depth Gauge 88703 Professional for Motorcycle, car,Truck and Bus

Works great, it is accurate and saves time and money as you can check your own tires and know when to buy them instead of going to a shop for an oil change for them to tell you you bad new tires when you don’t or not knowing when to have your tires changed. I have dropped the tool many times and has lasted through them all. It is small and easy to handle in your hands. Easy to read and feels amazing.

If you’re looking for a reliable tire tread depth gauge, the ODESON Dial Type Gauge is a great choice. I’ve used it on my car and motorcycle, and the readings are consistent and easy to understand. The color-coded scale (green/yellow/red) takes the guesswork out of figuring out when it’s time to replace your tires.The build quality is also impressive—it has a solid feel thanks to the silver powder-coated zinc alloy casing, which gives it a professional-grade look and feel. No flimsy plastic here. The dial is easy to read, even in lower light, and it’s accurate down to 32nds, which is perfect for staying on top of tire safety.This little tool gives peace of mind whether you’re prepping for a road trip or just doing regular maintenance. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to stay ahead of tire wear and avoid surprises on the road.

I already had a gauge that's like a nail that passes through a scale to tell you the depth of your tread. And it worked, but they're a little fussy and hard to read sometimes. So I wanted something different that was easier to read. I looked into the electronic digital ones, but they require batteries and a level of thinking (Ciphering, as Jethro Bodine would say) to come up with a useable value. I find that the analog dial on this style of gauge is a lot easier for the brain to relate to. It's instant, it's visual, it's easy to see at a glance. And this gauge is the epitome of simplicity. It's solid and very precise. When you put it on a flat surface it is dead on zero. There's no need to zero it like the electronic gauges because it is "perma-zeroed" simply by the mechanics of it. All you have to do is put it over the valley of the tread in your tire, push the button down and there's the depth of your tread in the simplest easy to read manner there is. No batteries and solid reliability. This gauge is built like a tank. It's solid metal that has some heft to it. It even comes with a nice protective pouch that wasn't even mentioned in the description. It should last a lifetime. (If you can remember where you put it lol!) I'm keeping mine in my glovebox so I don't lose track of it. You can't go wrong with this one. It is a great value for the money.

UPDATED REVIEW: "Shirley" at Godeson quickly contacted me regarding my dissatisfaction with the tire depth gauges and sent me replacements that are much better and work properly. Out of 8 replacement gauges, one of them does not read accurately- the needle is off by 1/32". I am happy with their customer service and with the tools.ORIGINAL REVIEW: The concept of this tool is great; the dial is super easy to read. However, the quality just isn't there. I bought ten of these for our college automotive program: 8 out of 10 were way too stiff. The gears inside seem to be too tight. When you press the probe into the tread, the probe is so stiff and resistant to moving that it dents into the tire, giving an inaccurate reading. I even pressed the tool against a solid, flat surface and could not get the tool to read "0". The gears do not move smoothly inside the tool, so when you move the probe tip just a little, it springs back. This also causes the needle to be jumpy, so on the other two units that did have a more normal amount of tension, you still can't get an accurate reading because the needle jumps between readings, or springs back into place after moving just a little.It might work okay for DIYers, but it is not a professional-grade tool.

I got this after being frustrated that every time I went to the car dealership I was surprised at how much wear and tear had occurred to my tires. Being skeptical of mechanics I've always been forced to just take their word for it, and seemingly having few options when you're already at the dealership, this tool allows you to accurately and easily measure the wear on your tread. It's super easy and quick. Everyone should have one of these, and this one seems to have the right mix of quality and value that I was looking for.

I spent a while researching tire depth gauges, from the pencil style ones to digital ones, and what I found in common was everyone had issues with each design. Pencil styles are harder to read, less accurate, etc, but are cheap. Digital ones are easy to read, but the batteries always seem to be dead when you need it. I figured I was going to pick up the pencil style one from the local store for a couple bucks when I found this one. I don't think the photos do it justice as it's much more substantial in the hand than it looks. It's metal with a clear plastic front. The pin on top is pressed to plunge the tool into the tread and take a reading. It's significantly easier to read than a pencil style with the accuracy of the digital. I can read a tire to 1/4th of a 1/32nd of an inch. So, if the gauge read half way between 3 and 4 32nds of an inch, I can read the measurement as 3.5/32". Likewise, if it's 1 mark above the 3/32" mark, I'd read it as 3.25/32". No guessing, no estimating. It's dead simple and accurate against my digital caliper.Only gripe is I do wish it had some sort of carrying bag, case, etc, like my caliper has to keep it safe. I guess for $10, I can't expect much, but the tool itself is undervalued at $10. It's not something you'll use all the time, but when you need to check your tires for normal wear during oil changes, odd feathering and uneven wear, you'll be happy you got the gauge.

Nice little depth gage. Easy to read.

great product
