The SAFELIFE Digital Tire Tread Depth Gauge is for motorists, fleet managers, mechanics and motorbike riders who want a fast, inexpensive way to check tread and safety margins without guesswork. It’s ideal for anyone who performs their own maintenance, checks rental or used-vehicle condition, or wants a simple tool to confirm legal tread limits and driving-surface safety. Use it during seasonal checks, before long trips, or whenever you suspect uneven wear. By combining a clear LCD, a fallback depth scale, three display modes and a zeroable probe in a pocketable housing, SAFELIFE gives practical accuracy for everyday safety checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What measurement units does this gauge show?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It reads in millimeters, decimal inches and fractional inches (32nds), switchable with one button.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I calibrate the gauge before measuring?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — the device is zeroable at any position so you can set a reference for consistent readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"SAFELIFE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48087021093022,"sku":"B0BTPCWWH1","price":31.85,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/safelife-front-view-with-display.jpg?v=1785914219","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/safelife-digital-tire-tread-depth-gauge-zeroable-3-mode-0-25-4mm-0-1in-large-lcd","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
