How it helps

Use it for a focused task

A printable tread-depth reference card, step-by-step measurement walkthrough using common household items, a wear-pattern diagnostic tree, and a four-tire log you can save in your browser. Everything works offline after the first load.

Pick a measurement method (penny, quarter, or ruler), enter your readings for each tire, and the page tells you where you stand. Use the wear-pattern guide to figure out why one spot is wearing faster.

Print the reference card and keep it in your glovebox. Mechanics and tire shops have a financial reason to recommend replacements early.
